Madam, - In view of the persistent and raucous calls from parents and several pressure groups over the past few months for taxpayers' money to be given to parents for the raising of their children, I anticipate a windfall for those parents in the coming Budget.
In many cases, this will mean an extra holiday abroad, along with a brand new SUV to ferry the children to and from the childminder. - Yours, etc,
PETER PALLAS, Sion Hill Court, Drumcondra, Dublin 9.
