IN his letter headlined ‘Above our weight’ (August 18), Anthony Levy

LIKE the wind industry in general, Airtricity’s Eddie O’Connor (Letters, January 26) is strong on word-play, but weak on the substantive issues.

JAMES McGRATH’S claim that wind power is “incredibly effective” (Letters, October 8) is totally wrong.

THE demand from most nationalists that our flag and anthem be imposed on unionists when they join us in all-Ireland rugby reveals our mean-spirited, intolerant, dismissive and bullying attitude towards them.

I WISH to congratulate you on the insightful editorial on the rugby anthem debate (September 21).

I THINK Fergal O’Neill (Letters, July 9) missed the point of my slightly tongue-in-cheek letter (June 26) on the contrast between nationalist anger at young Paisley’s comments on homosexuality and the virtually silent response to similar statements from the Pope.

CLLR Kieran McCarthy (Letters, May16) accuses me of having a ‘them and us’ attitude towards unionists.

AFTER being at each other’s throats in Ireland for the past 400 years, it is truly a cause for rejoicing when we see hardcore nationalist and unionist leaders talk to each other as equals for the first time.

WHILE the debate on peak oil, carbon emissions and climate change hots up, I am amazed that one of the main underlying causes is ignored: over-population.

I WAS delighted to hear Dr Liam Twomey, Fine Gael’s health spokesman, pledge full backing for Mary Harney’s ultimatum to hospital consultants.

NOW that the IRA’s guns are decommissioned we face the much more difficult task of decommissioning our nationalist mindset.
