Sir, – I’m not at all surprised at the long list of awards won by The Irish Times in the Irish Journalism Awards. There doesn’t appear to be a Best Letters Page award though – surely a serious omission? Well done to the eight winners. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – I have been writing letters to your newspaper for the past 17 years and hopefully will continue to do so for many more, whether published or not.

The art of letter-writing takes effort. I must work harder to improve mine. I must read more. I must sit in the chair and fight the blankness. I must not leave my desk. I must not abandon the room.

I must not distract myself in any way, until I feel I have fought and tried. I must put in the time, and effort. If I do not, the words will not appear. Simple as that. – Yours, etc,
