UTV Ireland

Sir, – I can’t help but be disappointed by the new TV offering that is UTV Ireland.

The presenters are professional and the news is largely Irish-based, but maybe this is just the point. I miss the sonorous accents; I miss the dour news of discrimination and denunciation. I miss hearing Sinn Féin apologists and DUP demands about “traditional routes”. This is the UTV that I grew up with, and scoffed at – but now that it’s no longer there, I miss it and I want it back. – Yours, etc,

PAUL HYLAND,
