Dear Editor,
I have been attending the city council meetings for some time now and, while I am not affiliated to any political party, I enjoy the politic process.

Dear Editor,
May I, through the publication of your well-read newspaper, point out some of the facts regarding the recent announcements by the government and the HSE on improvements in cancer services here in Ireland.

Dear Editor,
