Madam, - Pat Cox has served this country well in Europe. He has ably handled his post as president of the European Parliament, helping with the enlargement of the Union and improving equality for all European citizens.
He is well educated, can speak fluently in French and German and knows many players on the European and world stage personally.
The position of President of the European Commission will be decided in the coming days. Pat Cox is the most qualified Irish person to be given this post. Our wholehearted national support should be given to him. - Yours, etc.,

Madam, - The people have spoken through the ballot box.
Bertie Ahern should see this as a vote of confidence in him to go to Europe. - Yours, etc.,
