So-called neutrality is a flight of fancy

LAST weekend was a rather unfortunate time for your correspondent, Kirsten Foy, from Donegal, to propose another raft of referenda to copperfasten our 'neutrality' (Irish Examiner letters, June 14).

Especially as the Cabin Fever boat was just then being smashed to bits by indiscriminate forces off Tory Island, and the rescue operation was aided and abetted by British Sea King helicopters flying out of Northern Ireland.

What exactly are we afraid of? Fear of foreign flying objects, or fear of foreign subjects flying these foreign objects in the demilitarised zone of dear old Donegal?
