Letters to the Editor: We must rethink our position on neutrality

Like many before me, I’ve spent most of my adult life living and working in London. Although I haven’t been back home to Munster since a wedding in the mid-noughties, I keep tabs on what is happening there, as best I can. That tradition is long-established, well respected and good for purpose.

Since Russia invaded Ukraine four months ago, it occurs to me that we need to rethink our position on neutrality. I don’t say that as someone who has cosied up to the auld enemy. I say that as someone ready, willing, and able to read which way the wind is blowing in Europe now that Putin has shown his true face to the world.
