Sir, – I endorse the letter about the kindness of strangers (November 8th). As a pensioner, I am now travelling more frequently on the Luas and nine times out of 10 someone (usually male) gives up his seat for me. However, often an adult sitting next to his or her child offers their seat and I bite my tongue from suggesting the child should be the one giving up the seat. Perhaps the idea is to learn manners from example? – Yours, etc,

Sir, – On the Dart, I noticed signs warning against placing feet on seats: “Ná cuir do chosa ar na suíocháin. Píonós €50″. Judging by the numbers of the younger set putting their feet up, it’s clear the message isn’t getting through. Maybe we need to have a rethink about how we’re teaching Irish and civics. – Yours, etc,
Ann Ingle: Deliberately going out of my way to move for no particular reason has never appealed to me
Gerry Thornley: How about an alternative look at Ireland’s Six Nations win over England?
Is Ireland anti-Semitic, an outlier of tolerance or in the middle ground?
How risky is it to buy a second-hand EV?
