Sir, - I would like to correct a point in Mary McDonnell's letter (February 27th) regarding the phrase "cherishing all the children of the nation equally". This phrase is in the 1916 Proclamation, not the 1937 Constitution. It should be in the new proposed Constitution, as one of its original meanings was to treat Catholics and Protestants equally. - Yours, etc., Jim Cooke,
Marley Avenue, Rathfarnham, Dublin 16.
