Madam – I personally do not agree with Barry Egan regarding Lisa Murphy and Gerald Kean (Sunday Independent, November 18, 2012). Lets face it, these people are no more than any other two lovers who just did not get on so they go their separate ways. It's not the end of the world. Plenty of fish in the sea.

Madam – I write to offer a complimentary word to Willie Kealy on a quite superb article published on your front page (Sunday Independent, May 12, 2013). I find it uplifting, not to say encouraging, when a journalist hits the nail on the head, particularly when the target is one of our careerist elitist politicians. Another of your journalists, Gene Kerrigan, writes with laser-like accuracy in this regard. None fits the target bill better than the subject of your piece last week, Mr Bruton.
Madam – Young or old, it's the human legacy left behind that counts. Last weekend, within a day of each other, two noteworthy people sadly passed on to their eternal reward.
Madam – Mr A Leavy (May 12) argues that President Michael D Higgins is wrong about austerity and that Marc Coleman's article (May 5) supports his stance, but they are all wrong.

According to a nugget buried in a New York Times story on Thursday, Obama has been telling aides that he is tempted to pull a "Bulworth" – that is to make like Warren Beatty's liberal senator character in the 1998 movie of the same name by going rogue and saying exactly what is on his mind regardless of the political fallout.
