Sir, – I’m in agreement with Declan Kavanagh (Letters, June 6th). This is yet another example of the modern, and seemly impossible to stop trend, of using three words where one would do. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – The “island of Ireland” (Letters, June 6th) is a term not unique to contemporary media.

It appears in the Constitution of Ireland (the country not the island, that is).

What’s that about?

– Yours, etc,
