Sir, I am sure many of your readers mourn the passing of Christina Murphy as I do. Although all my children are now adult and were not educated beyond primary level in Ireland, I always found her columns interesting and stimulating.
She seemed so fair minded, and answered even the idiotic questions with sound advice. I always turned to the E and L supplement on Tuesdays and even though I am not a teacher or lecturer, there was always items to interest the general reader with even the slightest regard for the future of our younger generation.
What a satisfying job in journalism she had! Not for her the muck raking innuendo, but forthright opinions on serious issues. In passing, I think today's supplement is well up to standard; I am sure she has inspired many to continue her good work.-Yours, etc.,
Rathmullen, Letterkenny, Co Donegal.
