Homeless crisis Sir, – Calling for the return of bedsits to alleviate the homeless crisis is like calling for the return of workhouses to ease unemployment ("Tánaiste wants Dublin bedsit ban reviewed", December 3rd). I would wager that most of the "bring back the bedsit" merchants have never actually lived in one. – Yours, etc,

The price of water A chara, – Flood warnings on the day of the water protests. You couldn't make it up. – Is mise,

Anatomy of a car crash Sir, – Congratulations on publishing Peter Murtagh's excellent series of articles "Anatomy of a Car Crash". By exposing the hidden costs and sorrows associated with such tragedies, I hope it will make more people realise that "road safety" is not just a meaningless phrase to be ignored at will. – Yours, etc,
HUGH O’NEILL,

Making cents
Sir, – I read that the Central Bank is on the prowl for 1 and 2 cent coins (December 9th). May we assume, therefore, that the services of the governor of that organisation will no longer be required as the euros will be looking after themselves? – Yours, etc,
