Jailing Clare Daly and Mick Wallace

Sir, – Thank God Clare Daly and Mick Wallace were released early. Now we have two extra prison spaces for people who do not pay their TV licences or steal a bottle of whiskey from a supermarket. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Gerald Morgan (December 11th) refers to Mick Wallace as a "distinguished member of Dáil Éireann". I would have thought that "easily distinguished" would have been more accurate. – Yours, etc,
