Madam, - On Sunday afternoon I passed a small boy begging on O'Connell Bridge. Nothing strange there, but it reminded me that as a society we need to strike a balance between our selfishness and our compassion for others.

I hope our politicians are keeping this in mind as they jump over each other offering more and more tax cuts. - Yours, etc,
