Madam, - Seeing President McAleese shaking hands with Queen Elizabeth in Belfast last Thursday, I could not help feeling how nice it would be to see her do the same here in Dublin. Both sides of the Irish Sea have seen enough evidence over the past couple of years to show that the "bad old days" are over. An invitation to Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip would be further proof of this. - Yours, etc,
JOE HARVEY, Glenageary, Co Dublin.
