Sir, – I drowsily switched on the early morning news and, for a second, sleepily thought we were being invaded! President Obama and the Mexican Ambassador were being invoked in connection with the Garth Brooks non-event. Are we for real? Whatever about losing millions as a result of this monumental debacle, we have definitely lost our self respect. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – I suggest that next year’s Leaving Certificate Geography examination should contain a multiple choice question. What is the capital of Ireland? Is it 1) Dublin; 2) Old Trafford; 3) Frankfurt; 4) Rome; or 5) Nashville, Tennessee?
To paraphrase Bill O’Herlihy in another context earlier this week, “What in God’s name has gone wrong?” – Yours, etc,
