Sir, – Kathy Sheridan writes that Judge Anthony Halpin delivered a less than calming commentary on the goings-on at RTÉ (“The judge who protested on behalf of the TV licence refuseniks”, Opinion & Analysis, July 26th).

It was pleasing to hear the learned judge’s comments on the matter, not just on behalf of the “refuseniks”, but all those compliant licence payers who are not best pleased. I recall that the judge also said that “the law is the law” and that he had no choice but to punish non-payment. – Yours, etc,
AIDAN RODDY,
