Letter to the Editor: Local Government property transactions
Published in The Irish Independent 9th April 2015. Dear Editor, The Irish independent and Paul Melia are to be congratulated on the continued and informed focus on Local Government as evidenced by the article on Council owned property ( 8th April). However it should be noted that, in one of the huge number of oddities…

Letter to the Editor: Pobal
Published 8th April 2015 The Editor, Letters Page, The Irish Times Dear Editor, Your report regarding the possible closure of the two Sports Centres in “disadvantaged areas” refers to the decision of Pobal recommending against ongoing funding. The right of this largely unaccountable body to make such a decision seems not to be questioned at all. That…

McGurk wrong again (Letter to the Editor)
24th August 2014 The Editor, Letters Page, Sunday Business Post. Dear Editor, In an otherwise laudatory and deservedly so, tribute to Albert Reynolds, Tom McGurk (SBP 24th August) made an extraordinary, but telling point. He queried how anyone could believe that “somehow the Presidency of the High Court was of more national significance than…

Tom McGurk & Sinn Fein
17th December 2013 The Editor, Letters Page, The Sunday Business Post Dear Editor, The problem with Tom McGurk, from my perspective, is that he sees everything, in this State, from a Northern perspective. He would possibly say that, one of the problems with me, is that I see things from a 26 County perspective. The…

Sport and Young People (Letter to the Editor)
The Editor, Letters Page, The Irish Times Dear Editor, It was interesting to read the report from the ESRI and the response from the Department of Sport ( Irish Times 19th December) regarding participation in sports by teenagers and young adults. I am an Adult member of a very active youth organisation that, amongst other…

Councillor Expenses (Letter to the Editor)
4th June 2012 The Editor, Letters Page, The Sunday Independent Dear Editor, Your correspondent Michael O’Meara ( letters 3rd June) seems to think it is acceptable to refer to me and my fellow Councillors across the country as “Vultures”. As someone who has been re-elected to Dublin City Council in 1999, 2004 and 2009…

Socialist MEP – some cheek (Letter to the Editor)
The Editor, The Sunday Times. Dear Editor So “never been elected to anything” Paul Murphy MEP, is suddenly an authority on Labour voters (Sunday Times 3rd June) and the Labour Party. For the record, as a member of Dublin City Council since 1993, the voters of Ballsbridge have re-elected me in 1999, 2004 and 2009, along with…

Time for some new commentators (Letter to the Editor)
This letter was published in the Sunday Business Post on May 27th 2012. Dear Editor, That tired old commentator Tom McGurk, allied to that other tired old commentator Vincent Browne, have been regurgitating their same tired old nonsense now, for decades, in both print and on screen. Rather than the new Political Party that they…

Dublin Transport (Letter to the Editor)
The Editor, Letters Page, The Irish Times, Dear Editor, Paul Mallee, President of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, (letters 16thSeptember) is correct to say that we need a system that would see an integrated Dublin Transport Plan determined fairly and speedily rather than the current ad-hoc, project by project basis. Surely that is…

Letter to the Editor
The Editor, Letters Page, The Sunday Business Post. Dear Editor, What a pity that Jennifer O’Connell (SPB 18th October) should reduce a reasonably balanced piece about the need for good planning to a typically mean-spirited attack on those living in Council housing. Thanks to the foresight of my predecessors as Dublin City Councillors my parents…
