Sir, – It is so disappointing that all of the theatre has been taken out of budget day with all the leaks and kites. It’s as if they cancelled every match at Wimbledon, and went straight to the final with Paschal Federer and Michael Nadal. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – I suppose it is another symptom of the modern world but it is fascinating to read the reports and analysis in Tuesday’s Irish Times on the budget that was to be announced later in the day. If this trend continues, I will enjoy reading the match report of Friday evening’s game between Ulster and Leinster on Friday morning! – Yours, etc,

Sir, – I’ve often heard that you can place bets with bookmakers on what colour tie the Minister will wear delivering the budget speech or on its duration in minutes. I’d always wondered why these might be of any interest. Following Tuesday morning’s news, I think I understand. They’re the only things that haven’t already been revealed. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Why did Paschal Donohoe have a big fancy folder when Michael McGrath did not have even a paper clip? – Yours, etc,
