Sir, – As an enthusiast for North-South co-operation and a lifelong soccer fan, can I welcome the Taoiseach's brilliant suggestion for an all-Ireland team to come together every two years to play against England and raise funds for children's hospitals in Belfast and Dublin (Breaking News, November 8th). That's what I call smart thinking. Just one suggestion: in the interest of "parity of esteem", shouldn't a third of the money go to a children's hospital in London? – Yours, etc,
