Sir, – The start of a new year is a great opportunity to reflect on the past and set new goals for the future. Resolutions can help us focus on what we want to achieve and motivate us to take action. They can also provide a sense of accomplishment and boost our self-esteem. Research suggests that setting goals can lead to increased happiness and well-being. So, let’s embrace the start of 2024 with a positive mindset and set some achievable resolutions to make 2024 a great year.
Next year I’m calling it quits on social media, which seems increasingly to be a giant experiment to turn anger and hysteria into vast amounts of money for the big-tech moguls. – Yours, etc,

Matt Williams: Take a deep breath and see how Sam Prendergast copes with big Fiji test
New Irish citizens: ‘I hear the racist and xenophobic slurs on the streets. Everything is blamed on immigrants’
Jack Reynor: ‘We were in two minds between eloping or going the whole hog but we got married in Wicklow with about 220 people’
‘I could have gone to California. At this rate, I probably would have raised about half a billion dollars’
Sir, – My New Year resolution is to not make a New Year resolution. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Is it not sad that we have had to introduce a bin to collect “waste” food? Perhaps this coming year we should think before we buy. – Yours, etc,
