Sir, – I write to laud the jocular contributions of Frank McNally, Mary Hannigan and Miriam Lord in brightening up my day amid the doom and gloom of the parlous state of the country’s finances. Your publication is noted for giving us the news as it is, unlike some others that come to mind, which seem to think they have to embellish and sensationalise for the titillation of the uninitiated.
The contributions of your aforementioned journalists give a necessary balance to both of those approaches. Frank, Mary and Miriam – keep brightening up my day. – Yours, etc,
