Sir, – New Year’s resolutions often amount to little more than wishful thinking. They rarely last until the end of January. Here’s one that won’t take long. Take a few minutes today to check that your passport, driving licence and any other documents are not due to expire during the year. Mark it in your calendar if they are and it will save you a lot of trouble later in the year. Wishing you and your readers a happy 2016. – Yours, etc,
GERALDINE O’BRIEN,
