Opinion and analysis

Sir, – Three brilliant articles on one page (Opinion & Analysis, August 21st) and the Dáil in recess until mid-September. Could you rerun this page then?

TDs as well as Facebook addicts might benefit from Joe Humphreys's astute dissection of populism; then take in Pippa Woolnough's stunning argument for free education, that very cheap investment in the future; followed by Patrick Monahan's solidly sensible case to provide schools for children in the neighbourhood of the schools regardless of religious denomination. – Yours, etc,

MARY MAHER,
