Madam, - It is reported that Fianna Fáil has invited a rugby player, a psychologist and a best-selling author to address its forthcoming Cabinet think-tank, with a view to rubbishing Eddie Hobbs's successful TV series Rip-off Ireland.

Would it not make more sense for FF to invite Mr Hobbs himself to this meeting?
