As safe as houses

Madam, – I found the article on the sale of home safes barely credible (Property Residential, May 12th)

Madam, – I found the article on the sale of home safes barely credible (Property Residential, May 12th). You have to wonder at such mentality. Withdraw your cash from the bank and keep it in the safe because you’re “concerned about the wellbeing of the Republic’s banks”. Do such people understand how the system works?

What they have in their expensive safes are promissory notes, a promise to pay. If the banks are all down, who will pay? They’ll be able to use the contents of their safe as toilet paper. – Yours, etc,
