IT seems that seasonal red poppies are making something of a limited comeback after a hiatus lasting roughly the extent of the Troubles that blighted this island for almost 30 years.

I REFER to the letters headlined 'Dana put principles before politics' and 'Woman of courage' published in the Irish Examiner of September 20.

IT is gratifying to note the total lack of success so far encountered by Dana in her tour of county councils seeking a presidential nomination.
