Sir, – Mel Brooks's comedy musical The Producers was based on the idea that a drama producer could make more money from a flop than from a successful production. I wonder does the FAI screen it from time to time? – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Perhaps the €5 million is just resting in the FAI’s account? – Yours, etc,

A chara, – Surely I can’t be the only one suffering from a bad case of Thierry Ennui. – Is mise,

Sir, – The proverbial visitor from Mars might be puzzled by the widespread fascination with the machinations of Fifa and sudden support for American exceptionalism in confronting this.
May I suggest that a weary populace is seeking small comfort in hoping that if our society can aspire to tolerable standards in such a trivial matter as sport, it may ultimately transfer such aspirations to business and government. – Yours, etc,
JOHN CATTANACH,
Fairview,
Dublin 3.
