Sir, – Further to "Lucinda Creighton unveils new party and calls for a 'reboot' of Ireland" (January 2nd), when did anyone under the age of 30, and without the word "administrator" as part of their job title, last "reboot" anything?
So much for a modern Ireland. – Yours, etc,
ULTAN Ó BROIN,
Dublin 8.
Sir, – May I suggest a name for Lucinda Creighton and Co’s proposed new political party – “Right On”? –Yours, etc,
JACK O’CONNELL,
Ballydehob,
Co Cork.
Sir, –In a democracy, one cannot be compelled to vote against one's conscience on major moral issues, such as abortion, gay marriage or euthanasia. Enda Kenny should apologise to Lucinda Creighton, et al, and invite them back into the fold. He will need them. – Yours, etc,
JIM O’SULLIVAN,
Model Farm,
Cork.
Sir, –I was intrigued by the launch of Lucinda’s new party. It appears to be a case of “out with the old, and back in with the old”. It should make for amusing reading, if nothing else. – Yours, etc,
FRANCIS McNICHOLAS,
Kiltimagh,
Co Mayo.
Sir, – Lucinda Creighton referred on radio to our “toxic whip system”. Perhaps her new political party should be called “The Whippersnappers”? – Yours, etc,
OLIVER McGRANE,
Rathfarnham,
Dublin 16.
Sir, – I wish Lucinda Creighton well in her efforts to form a new political party, but my heart is full of trepidation when I think of the Greens and the PDs. – Yours, etc,
OLIVER DUFFY,
Bishopstown,
Cork.
Sir, – I am curious, as we seem to be on a journey in this country to replicate all the most undesirable aspects of American culture, as to whether tea was served at the launch of the “new” political party in Dublin last Friday. – Yours, etc,
JOHN KANE,
Limerick.
