Dear Editor,
Great to see the spirited quasi-PD Noel Grealish unselfishly doing some PR for Fianna Fáil, the party he is eager to join. Like Dev Mór, he seems to be able to see into the hearts of the Irish people whom, he says, are sick of tribunals.

Dear Editor,
Mr Harrison (Wednesday 2 January) decries the fact that the Galway Alliance Against War appeared to remain silent as a battle group of Russian warships sailed down the West Coast.

Dear Editor,
I am writing in relation to a letter I read in your paper recently regarding the waiver system that operates in the Galway City Council.

Dear Editor
This is another air show letter. You published one in your 19 December issue, so you asked for it. This letter differs from all of the others in that it offers a solution that will please everyone. Yes, everyone! Members of the Galway Alliance Against Western democracy and those who want the successful and popular annual event to continue.

A chara,
Unfortunately GAAW does not have the up-to-date military intelligence that your Newcastle correspondent, Mr Roger Harrison, (Letters Wednesday 2 January 2008) has to hand, which I hope explains our silence re a Russian naval convoy travelling along the west coast of Ireland.

Dear Editor,
The all year round swimmers in Blackrock, Salthill are having a first annual Mass offered for all deceased swimmers and their families at 10am in the Claddagh Church on Saturday 26 January, the last Saturday in January.

Dear Editor,
Could the story of the Nativity happen today in Palestine? Unlikely.

Dear Editor,
I read with interest Eilis Nig Raollaigh's letter on Wednesday 19 December 2007 regarding the potential association between abortion and breast cancer. I agree that women who feel that they are at increased risk of breast cancer, whether real or perceived, should seek appropriate medical advice. I am concerned, however by the anxiety that might be generated by the letter among women who have had either a spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) or an induced abortion (termination).

Dear Editor,
I would be deeply indebted if, through your newspaper, you could afford us the opportunity to convey our sincere appreciation to all who helped and supported us throughout 2007.
