Sir, – Your editorial "Irish Times view on a year in politics" (December 27th) concludes, "As the year draws to a close it looks as if the two big issues of 2021, Covid and the protocol, will continue to dominate political life in the months ahead".
Might this inadvertently go some way to explain to many why we still have a housing crisis, a healthcare system that is constantly on the brink of being overrun and thousands queuing for handouts to get by?
Those in power, and many others with influence, simply refuse to see the wood for the trees. – Yours, etc,
