Sir, – After all we have learned recently we should hardly be surprised that TDs and Senators have the brass neck to send sympathy cards at the expense of the recipients (Home News, November 30th) .
What is surprising is that relatively elaborate sympathy cards cost 12 cent each while Christmas cards cost on average 6.5 cent. If these figures can be believed it would appear that printing is one of the few value-for-money services provided in Leinster House. – Yours, etc,
