Sir, - I wonder am I unique or do I share with other people my absolute, utter and complete boredom with the Northern Ireland question? I have heard of blanket coverage, but this is ridiculous. Every single possible nuance is dealt with, pored over, agitated, shaken, stirred, boiled, grilled, braised, checked, double checked, re checked, revamped, rejigged, regurgitated and then repeated later that day ad nauseam at every single newsbreak on RTE - and the daily papers are not much better.
Do we really want to know at this stage, when we have managed for 75 years (well from December 6th next it will be 75 years) the 26 county state? I am proud to be a citizen of the state that was created then. I have no real desire for us to incorporate Northern Ireland as part of our state. - Yours, etc.,
Monkstown Road,
Co Dublin.
