Elixir of youth

The Irish Times - Letters to the Editor.

Sir, – As I go about my business , I am amazed at the some of the faces looking down at me from every lamp-post.

They look so young. They look like wrinkle-free teenagers.

Have they found the elixir of life and the path to eternal youth?

The requirements for a passport photo are that it should have been taken in the last six months and that the image should not be enhanced.

Should these requirements apply to election literature? – Yours, etc,

Sir, – To all the political parties who did not subject us to giant ugly posters over the last month advertising “public meetings” on very dubious topics, I will remember you with gratitude at the ballot box. – Yours, etc,

PAUL BYRNE,
