Sir, - "They both had a great passion for truth," Michael O'Brien of O'Brien Press tells us about his parents in his lengthy defence of John Cooney's book on Archbishop McQuaid (December 1st).
Strange then, surely, that he would publish and commend a book in which flimsy, third-hand and unsubstantiated allegations should be made against a deceased person?
These were described by Vincent Browne as the most flimsy allegations he encountered in his entire career. I have to say that I regard them as a total disgrace to the journalistic profession have practised for 17 years. - Yours, etc., Sean O Domhnaill,
