Letters to the Editor, December 31st: On neglecting our National Archives, bylaws and homelessness, and reforming the Seanad

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : The greatest State investment in national education was the introduction of free bus transport which was revolutionary and progressive and set the foundation for the education of the nation's children and set this country on the path to modernisation and economic freedom.
62% : Isn't it cruelly ironic that in the context of unimaginable national tax intake and the ongoing subsidising of private schools exceptionalism and privilege, that the State has withdrawn free school bus transport for the less fortunate and rural citizens of this State, forcing them back into cars in a time of climate emergency, by introduced fees on school-going children to help raise funds in a "value for money audit"?
61% : Children are sent to private schools not because children are super-talented or outstanding in any way but because their parents have the resources to send them there - with State assistance.
