Letters to the Editor, December 28th: On the Occupied Territories Bill, and subsidising private education

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : From golfers to opera singers, the story in broad terms is often similar, with driven individuals paying for their children to access the best teaching which is made possible or affordable through state support.
56% : Various organisations receive public funding but also expect parents or students to pay in order to train and perform, from the GAA, FAI, the IRFU to arts organisations and myriad quangos.
45% : As far back as July, the World Health Organisation had documented more than 1,000 attacks on healthcare facilities by Israeli forces in Gaza and the West Bank that directly killed hundreds of people, including many medical personnel.
32% : The EU has behaved disgracefully regarding the slaughter in Gaza and Ireland should not permit itself to be restricted by such immoral indifference.
