Madam, – As a recent graduate and a 23-year-old trainee, I want to know, what has our country become? Our sense of loyalty and passion, something that was ingrained in our heritage, has deserted us.
Recently, a man ploughed a truck into the gates of our country’s headquarters, our leader was ridiculed by a prominent US chat show host and members of Government continued to bicker among one another. Who is to blame? We are.
It is easy to point fingers and publicise high-profile individuals, but whether it be through a social networking slur or cheap headlines, we as a country are responsible.
I am tired of our nation’s media outlets persistently drowning the public with incessant negativity.
We each have a duty, as citizens of this country, to pull ourselves from this mess and restore pride in our country, Ireland. – Yours, etc,
