Dear Sir,
Having read the letter from Ann Fitzgerald in the
December Gazette, I immediately thought of the
immortal wording contained in Section 85 sub-section
(2) of the Housing Act 1966 in which the expression
"the appropriate Minister" is defined.
Can't you imaging Sir Humphrey in 'Yes, Prime
Minister' explaining it as follows:-
(a) if the Ministerial functions relating to the land in
question are vested in a single Minister other than
the Minister, that Minister,
(b) if those functions are vested in two or more Ministers
(neither or none of whom is the Minister), such one
of those Ministers as has, in relation to the land, the
greater or greatest concern,
(c) in all other cases, the Minister."
"Yes, Sir Humphrey!"
Yours faithfully,
Peter H. Jones,
Solicitor,
Goff Street,
Roscommon.

Dear Sir,
I am interested in a house exchange with an Irish
Solicitor and family in 1987.
We exchanged accommodation with an English solicitor
in the summer of 1985 and it worked very well. We
spent a few days in Ireland and fell hopelessly in love
with your country and your people. We hope to visit for
three weeks to a month.
Yours sincerely,
Richard M. Taylor,
Attorney at Law,

Dear Editor,
The following question was posed in an advertisement
for a Seminar being held by the Society on District
Court Civil Procedure and Debt Collection Enforcement.
"The Sheriff may still have the right to call out the
posse, but can he also seize property owned by the
debtor's spopouse(sic)?"
Very often the answer is in the question, is it.
"I suppose so"?
Yours sincerely,
Gerard M. Doyle,
Solicitor,
51 Lr. O'Connell Street,
Dublin 1.
