Madam, - I fully support the aims and policies of the Immigration Control Platform as enunciated by its erudite spokesman, Áine Ni Chonaill, in your Letters page (May 12th).
In rural and urban areas there should be positive discrimination, in all employment areas, in favour of native sons and daughters of proven third generation. This should be particularly so in Dublin which has become a cesspool of provincial penetration and corruption with never-ending tribunals of inquiries costing millions.
The dictum in provincial school curricula would seem to be "get to Dublin and rob it" à la Knock Airport and the Eurovision song Contest in Co Cork. Massive internal and external farm fraud is also seen as a duty heist which is splendidly and unashamedly toasted at Cheltenham.
To safeguard Dublin, its culture and its submerged people there should be an immediate introduction of strictly enforced annual quota on provincial immigration into Dublin.
Allied with the Immigration Control Platform, Ireland could remain a monocultural people and Dublin a monocultural city with the winning electoral slogan of Ireland for the Irish and Dublin for the Dubliners.
But where is the voice of Dublin and who speaks for Dublin? - Yours, etc.,
MICHAEL MacCOISDEALBH, Upper Kilmacud Road, Stillorgan, Dublin 14.
