Testing times for Brexit plan

Sir, – Is it just a coincidence that the Tánaiste has given British prime minister Theresa May the first two weeks in June to solve the Border problem? This two-week period overlaps with the Junior and Leaving Cert exams, at time when more problems are solved with pen and paper than at any other time in the year.

I suppose it would be too much to expect her to hand in her completed paper on June 13th, the day of the history examination. – Yours, etc,

I’ve always wanted to see Schrödinger’s cat. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – A bluffer zone rather than a buffer zone is probably a better idea for Northern Ireland’s Brexiteers. – Yours, etc,
