Sir, – May I go a little further than your correspondent, Roger Flack (December 14th), and suggest to our President, Michael D Higgins, that Monsieur Michel Barnier be conferred with honorary Irish citizenship, whatever the outcome of the Brexit negotiations.
He is a man of immense patience and competence and such a superb example for our politicians and business leaders of how to conduct oneself in difficult circumstances. Oh that such professionalism and determination could be inculcated into all of our leaders! – Yours, etc,
BA TAPLEY,
Killiney, Co Dublin.
