Sir, - TG4's slim viewing figures will no doubt get a welcome boost from their transmission of the inquiry of the Public Accounts Committee on offshore banking accounts.
The proceedings are, of course, all in English, as are the ads carried during the coffee breaks. When TG4 publishes its annual report for 1999, it will, no doubt, point to a dramatic increase in viewing figures. To paraphrase a famous comment made in a different context, is this an English solution to an Irish problem? - Yours, etc.,
