Sir, – I read that Oireachtas banking inquiry committee chairman Ciaran Lynch has said "we can't made adverse findings against an individual", adding that it could make only findings of fact ("Finnish and Canadian financial experts to be first witnesses in banking inquiry", December 16th).
I immediately looked at the membership of the committee but to my amazement observed no trace of a quantum physicist among its number.
With operating conditions like that, it’s enough to make Schrödinger’s cat laugh. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Regarding the ECB's refusal to appear before the joint committee of inquiry into the banking crisis, is it a case of Hamlet without the protagonist? – Yours, etc,
