Sir, – Following Miriam O’Callaghan’s report on falling birth rates in this country, it is worth pointing out that there have been no more than half a dozen births recorded in the personal announcements column in The Irish Times in the last couple of months (“Ireland’s Population Crash on RTÉ One: Miriam O’Callaghan is compelling at the heart of this doc”, TV & Radio, November 4th).
It begs the question: are Irish Times readers spending too much time reading the newspaper? -Yours, etc,
RICHARD ALLEN,
