Splitting the county with the lowest poplulation into two for the purposes of TD election and placing each half with other full counties, thus guaranteeing that there will be no representation from the county in the Dail.

FFS, maybe if half the population werent trying to do away with themselves on a regular basis a few more people would be living there

Without a doubt, you are the poster that tries the hardest to be outlandish. You won’t be getting a reaction here.

That mindset is the definition of what is wrong with the country.

I could never fathom people who write into that paper regularly. Fills column inches I suppose.

Thrawneen I think it was who had a neighbour with hundreds of publications to his name. It’s as rational as tweeting I suppose.

[SHANNONSIDER]

Think I remember that guy who’d had a ton of stuff published. Mostly giving out yards about inconsequential stuff. I prefer to put the feet up in the evenings rather than writing letters about the metric system, I’m not Leagues O’Toole like. Writing letters doesn’t keep me interested fur long.

Anyone here ever actually write into a National newspaper and have a letter published?

[The_Runt]

John Fitzgerald from Callan is my favourite contributor to the letters section of national newspapers.

If I’d a quart of whiskey for every letter I wrote to a national newspaper I’d be a very drunk man.

I had one in the Irish Times in 2006.
It’s the neighbour of a friend of mine who writes in all the time. He had another one in on Saturday, I think it was. He has about 300 at this stage. Short, witty things usually. I think he composes them in his head while working and polishes them up in the pub afterwards.

A vintage Irish Times letter goes something like:

Madam,

The recent commission report suggests the productivity of Irish civil servants is below the EU average. Is it possible they’re just being mean?

Is Mise,

South Dublin Dandy as Gaeilge
