• The performance of football referees is monitored and reprimands are handed out for poor judgments.
Why then is there no body to oversee "the fitness to judge" of the judiciary?

* It has been reported on RTE news that Michael Noonan, our Finance Minister, has admitted "that mistakes were made with the troika". Is this just a mirroring of the IMF/troika stance in Greece or is it actual remorse? Is it the realisation that people can bear such a damaging burden only for so long, or quite simply world events overtaking failed policies? Some examples:
* Further to the recent funeral of our son and brother Donal and the many letters of condolence we have since received, we would like you to publish this letter of heartfelt thanks from our family.
