Sir, - I think it beagnach ironic that her celebrancy, President Robinson, can rejoice so unreservedly in Michelle Smith as a role model for Mna na hEireann. I seem to recall that her erstwhile rival, the late lamented Brian Lenihan, had been less happily confronted with his celebration of emigration as a smart option for the flower of our youth.
Surely now is a tide in the affairs of Mna na hEireann that, taken at the flood, leads on not to deoraiocht among the diaspora, but to a 50 metre poll snamha in Eireann (strict cosc ar fishing, of course!). - Yours etc.,
Navan Road,
