Sir, – I was pleased to see your editorial “The Irish Times view on wealth inequality: a stark and persistent gap” (June 13th) and read it with interest. However, what was otherwise a welcome concern about inequality and inadequate housing provision took a turn for the worse: it seems your concern was motivated by a fear that, “Deep-rooted inequality in areas such as housing and wealth distribution drive instability in society and foster a desire for change. The main beneficiaries of that will be Sinn Féin.”
Surely The Irish Times should have primary regard to the impact of inequality, poverty and lack of adequate housing provision on the hundreds of thousands of people living in this country? – Yours, etc,
NESSAN VAUGHAN,
