Sir, – Voters in the United Kingdom will soon have the opportunity to decide whether or not they wish to remain in the European Union. Surely, in the interest of parity, all non-UK voters in the EU also should be able to express their view on whether or not they wish to allow the UK to remain in the European Union. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – I was living in the UK for the last referendum on Europe. We had the same palaver from the “Little Englanders”, but the other 27 countries have their share of tribalists too.
My main reason for supporting the EU is the cause of peace. If, a hundred years ago, your editor had forecast a day when 28 of the warring tribes would be joined in one club on terms of equality, when the great debate would be on economics, with no mention of war, and with the two great curses of tribalism and religion kept firmly in place, the lads in the white coats would have come and taken him away.
Do we really appreciate what we have achieved? – Yours, etc,
JAMES MORAN,
Bunclody, Co Wexford.
