Madam, – Surely the ghosts of Larkin and Connolly must squirm in their graves at the mistreatment of Irish citizens by the pawns of the trade union establishment in the Passport Office. And an impotent Government stands (idly) by. Shame! Shame! Shame! – Yours, etc,

Madam, – By approaching the Israeli embassy with a view to securing the expertise of Mossad, the Irish Government could, secure a plentiful supply of Irish passports for the Molesworth Street masses, solve the Riddle of Dubai, create improved diplomatic relations with Israel, and experience an immediate bounce in the opinion polls, thus accomplishing the rare feat of killing up to four birds with one stone, so to speak. – Yours, etc,
