Sir, - Hooray for Brendan Redmond (March 14th), for drawing attention to the bothersome loose sheets in The Irish Times. I sympathise with him over his occasional unpleasant feedback from across the table. However, Mr Redmond is far too modest. To me, all the sheets of your paper are loose and therefore a potential hazard to the reader.I have bought (and partly read) all the 16120 (approx.) papers you have produced during the past 51-1/2 years. Through all those years I have been waging a daily battle with those large loose sheets. On one occasion a sheet had slid surreptitiously onto the floor. On getting up from the sofa, I stepped on the paper, which slid on the carpet causing me to fall flat on the floor. Had this happened now (I am closing in on 84), I might have broken my neck.Possibly worse than this is the fact that in my battle to get the sheets into some order after each turn of the page, the noise prevents my better half from hearing the TV, and she is not too shy to give me a sharp reminder.I never buy a Sunday paper, just enjoying the day off from the battle of the sheets. And now and again a friend with a job in Denmark brings me several Norwegian and Danish newspapers when he comes home for a break. Then I can truly enjoy a good read, and the freedom from all the noisy palaver of turning the pages.So, instead of just fiddling with the half-sheets, why not go the whole hog and glue all the sheets together? As the "best paper" in Ireland, it is incumbent on you to take the first step in such a move towards greater civilisation. Yours, etc.,Kare Breivik, Malahide, Co Dublin.
