Madam, – I had considered cancelling my daily purchasing of The Irish Timesas one of my New Year resolutions both because of the anti public service bias of some of your commentators and as a means of sparing some of my dwindling take home pay as a teacher.
However, upon reading Tom Humphries’ article (LockerRoom,December 28th), I have reconsidered my resolution.
To paraphrase his comment on teachers, “One great journalist is worth more than a ‘boredom’ of oleaginous political and economic hacks”. – Yours, etc,
Madam, – I’m glad I have lived long enough to see history made in Thursday’s Irish Times (2009 Sports Review) – laudatory words about Irish rugby from Tom Humphries! It has indeed been an amazing year for Irish rugby. – Yours, etc,
