Madam, - In a sun-drenched car-park in UCD last Wednesday afternoon, I happened upon two designer-clad female students who were in the throes of a terrible crisis: one searched frantically beneath the dash-board of their car while the other called Daddy on her I-Phone to seek his counsel.
The soft top of their 07 Mercedes cabriolet had jammed half-open. I decided against assistance.
Who says third-level fees should not be introduced? - Yours, etc,

Madam, - The photograph of the Munster third-level students protesting against paying fees gave quite a different impression from the one they intended. Any student who can afford Abercrombie and Fitch tracksuit bottoms and Tommy Hilfiger underwear can surely afford to pay for their education as well. - Yours, etc,
