Sir, - Things never cease to amaze me in this topsy-turvy world. The only political party in Western Europe with a standing army, i.e. Sinn Fein, is against the Nice Treaty because of the possibility of increased militarisation (itself a load of nonsense).
Is this a record? - Yours, etc.,
Cllr Jim D'Arcy, Fine Gael. Sandygrove Close, Blackrock, Dundalk, Co Louth.
