LIZ McHALE,
Madam, - In lieu of Santa visiting our house this Christmas, I am contributing to four Irish charities. Does this give me the high moral ground? - Yours, etc.,

Dear Santa, - Please can you get for the people of Ireland who have been good for the past year:
1. A Dáil with half the present number of TDs.
2. A proper EU fisheries policy based on sustainability, good husbandry and common sense.
3. A statement to our neighbours that Ireland will not welcome trucks too big to fit in the Dublin Port Tunnel. - Yours, etc.,
PETER KERRUISH, Dalkey, Co Dublin.

Madam, - I was recently asked for €80 postage to send a Christmas parcel to Australia. Naturally, I thought again. I then enquired about sending it from Northern Ireland, it cost £12.20 sterling (about €22). - Yours, etc.,
