Hello. This is a special issue, containing very little apart from the text of two letters which I will be sending to various offices of the Irish government. I won't be sending them as email, because Irish politicians routinely ignore email from constituents. They take things a little more seriously if you send a paper letter. It is, of course, extremely doubtful that the actual ministers, TDs, etc, will read the letters sent. They will almost certainly be read instead by secretaries and assistants, and passed on only in summary to the actual elected officials. However, adding one more letter to the pile is the way in which public opinion - aside from in the media, which is a distorting mirror at best - is measured in this country.
