Madam, – As is always the case with internecine and destructive Irish politics, the battles are so fierce because the stakes are so low.
Stephen McGeown’s vitriolic condemnation of the Thomas Cook workers (August 6th) strikes me as a par excellence example of what Ireland has been left with after the hollowing out from our society of all forms of simple, human, compassion.
A sad and profound outburst. – Yours, etc,
