Sir, – How right Padraig McCarthy (Letters, March 13th) is to draw attention to the fact that religious orders are not the only organisations open to abuse in schools.

What about the Protestant mother and baby homes which escaped inquiry because they were owned and managed by quite separate boards? – Yours, etc,
