Actress Bebe Neuwirth has married California wine connoisseur Chris Calkins in an intimate New York ceremony.

I WAS instantly drawn to the headline ‘Natural salmon habitat to be established in upper River Lee’ (February 11).

SALMON angling, to be of any interest to the local or tourist angler, requires an abundance of salmon to be present to have any chance of success with rod and line.

THE commercial salmon fishing sector has failed to reach its quota since 2001. That year the quota stood at 237,099 and the netsmen returned a catch of 237,626. In 2002, it was set at 219,649 and the return was 208,982.

I REFER to the report by Anne Lucey headlined: ‘Board calls for unity of salmon interests.’ (Irish Examiner, February 10).
