Sir, – Seamus Heaney was a man who built bridges, brought communities together, and whose poetic lyricism spanned so many topics. Surely it would be fitting to name the new bridge over the Liffey, the Seamus Heaney Bridge? – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Our Laureate, the late Seamus Heaney spoke to and of us all:
"I was a nuisance, tripping, falling, /Yapping always. But today/ It is my father who keeps stumbling/ Behind me, and will not go away." (Follower)
His generous and personal legacy will be with us forever. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – “I rhyme to see myself, to set the darkness echoing . . .” Dear God, how the darkness echoes now. – Yours, etc,
