Madam, - Assuming that he himself has not been recruited by the spooks, Gerry Adams must be wondering who, if any, of his most trusted circle he can rely on.
Is it all one-sided, though? Considering his destabilising influence in unionist politics over the past 40 years, could the self-proclaimed Voice of Unionism actually be a closet Irish republican? - Yours, etc,

Madam, - I take it that the revelation about a British agent operating at the top of Sinn Féin for the past 20 years finally puts the tin hat on any speculation about a coalition between that party and Fianna Fáil after the next general election.
After all, the Republican Party will hardly want to leap into bed with a party beset by British spies! - Yours, etc,
