I READ Gary Dunne’s excellent letter from the US headlined ‘Tara — a cry from the diaspora’ (Irish Examiner, April 19).

IT seems David Sowby (Irish Examiner letters, March 28) missed my point in relation to the RTÉ Radio 1 Sunday Miscellany programme (Letters, March 26).

AT 7am two days after Christmas, my wife and I gingerly deposited a very irate son at Dublin airport for a flight to London where he works.

AND so the three Augustinian priests who participated in the concelebrated Easter Mass in Drogheda have been well and truly brought to heel.

I FIND it amazing that senior ministers still refuse to accept the reality that is rip-off Ireland — although if I was earning over E100,000 per year, plus expenses, maybe I wouldn’t see a problem either.
