Enjoy splendour of springtime

Sir — A favourite season for many, spring is here! Longer and warmer days to enjoy.

We celebrate our patron, Saint Patrick, who brought Christianity and new life to Ireland.

Our beautiful countryside awakens, calling farmers and gardeners into action.

The great outdoors calls all, our hills are alive with walkers, nature is blossoming.

Let’s enjoy every lovely springtime moment, as we explore and help protect our beautiful island, our earthly home, Deo Gracias. Sean Quinn, Blackrock, Co Dublin

Politicians have come dangerously close to accepting the homeless situation as a problem they cannot solve.

If these politicians don’t deliver, then with all the earnestness at our command, we must ask ourselves some very serious questions when we next enter the polling booth at the next general election. Pat O’Callaghan, Mallow, Co Cork
