Colette Browne (Opinion, Feb 27) delivers short, sharp shrift to Seth McFarlane over his controversial “set of reductive offensive stereotypes masquerading as risqué ribald humour at the Oscars”.

I read Colette Browne’s article (Opinion, Feb 27) with interest.

In her attack on Lucinda Creighton’s reported intention to draft legislation in line with the X-case, precluding a threat of suicide, Colette Browne (Opinion, Jan 16) was unable to distinguish between the Supreme Court’s definition of the law in article 40.3.3, and the court’s application of the law to the case presented to them.

I think Colette Browne is a bit complacent when she says that the anonymous and unregulated aspects of the role of social media in public debate, and the consequent existence of social media abusers, is confined to ‘a small cohort of offensive boneheads’ and is an issue of no importance (Opinion, Jan 2).

Colette Browne (Opinion, Dec 12) is correct.

It would appear that your columnist, Colette Browne, does not read the paper that pays her. If she had read the letter from Dr Clair, published on Tuesday, it is unlikely she would have written the column published on Wednesday.

Colette Browne’s (Opinion, Sep 26) debilitating critique of the shallow, sham shenanigans of current governmental shoddiness, particularly around healthcare re-orientations, is nothing short of depressing, yet unfortunately true.

It is encouraging to see Colette Browne discuss the importance of politicians keeping their pre-election promises (Sept 26).

I would like to correct what I believe to be a seriously inaccurate impression given by Colette Browne in her column (Sep 5).

Colette Browne’s well-written Opinion piece (Aug 29) is the latest reworking of a now standard model argument against Assange’s position, to which every contributing journalist hones and polishes the reasoning in an attempt to make it a little more convincing.

Colette Browne (Aug 28) makes some very valid points which would be very reasonable if we were dealing with people (governments) of honesty or integrity.

I think it’s an awful pity Colette Browne used the expression “anti-choice” (Opinion, Jul 25) to describe opponents of legalised abortion.

Defending Politics Why Democracy Matters in the Twenty-First Century

As one who holds the view that this country is bankrupt because the powerful people in government, financial institutions etc were not adequately held to account by the free press, I am in agreement with Colette Browne when she criticises minister Rabbitte for his ‘attack on political media’ (May 23).

Colette Browne’s article ‘Meritocracy and Private Schools’ (May 16) strikes a chord.

When I read a defence of gay marriage like that of your columnist Colette Browne (May 2), then I consider two things.

In response to Colette Browne’s column (May 2) in your newspaper which is highly argumentative, ‘fear and prejudice’ seems to be losing in her case in connection with the Catholic Church.

A new book exposes how, after a promising start, corruption became endemic in Irish political life, writes Colette Browne

The deluge of ill-informed comment on the Catholic Church’s actions in holding the line on its core teaching shows no signs of abating.

Colette Browne’s cynicism (Opinion, Feb 8) regarding the hypocrisy displayed by a member of the banking elite is sincere, but she didn’t pinpoint the real conundrum of our money system.

I want to thank Colette Browne for her recent article (Opinion, Jan 25) regarding politicians’ counter-intuitive and immoral implementation of austerity measures that are currently crippling citizens all over Ireland.

Colette Browne (Opinion, Jan 25) is right when she says that “the government has run out of straws at which to clutch” when it tells those of us that complain “to live in the real world”.

GOOD for Colette Browne who highlighted the fact that “women are woefully underrepresented in our political system” (Opinion, Jan 18).

WELL done to Colette Browne (Opinion, Jan 3) for her brilliant analysis of what lies behind the campaign of vilification being run by the government against those in receipt of welfare.

APPOINTED as I am as a chaplain in a Catholic secondary school, I have been assigned to care for our pupils’ spiritual and moral well-being to the best of my ability, and so I feel it is my duty to respond to Colette Browne’s venting of spleen in favour of abortion (Opinion, Dec 14).

IN relation to Colette Browne’s article on abortion (Opinion, Dec 14), I would like to point out that at no point does she even mention the rights of the child that are stipulated in our constitution.

I FIND that your piece by Colette Browne (Opinion, Dec 14) to be very unbalanced especially as this research was conducted just three months after the abortions when more often then not the effects of abortion become apparent in later years.

IN her column, Colette Browne (Opinion, Nov 30) writes that “perhaps members of the Association of Catholic Priests (ACP) who have been screaming bias at every available opportunity since the sorry episode first came to light, would like the entire board of RTÉ to commit hari-kari as a token of their sorrow”.

THE Irish Examiner’s reputation for cutting-edge design and great sports coverage was recognised yesterday when it scooped two of the top prizes at the inaugural National Newspapers of Ireland Journalism Awards in Dublin.
