Madam, - Some weeks ago we were treated to Gavin O'Reilly preaching to other media outlets on how they should approach their reportage of Denis O'Brien's foray into Independent News and Media plc through his purchase of shares in that company. I had not expected The Irish Timesto take lessons from Mr O'Reilly.
Step up Eamon Dunphy (Weekend Review, April 12th), who sought to apprise us of his own independence in this high-level spat between O'Reilly and O'Brien. It very quickly emerged that, arising from his experiences while working at Newstalk, Mr Dunphy clearly does have an agenda in this matter and despite his assertions to the contrary, he is weighed down with a bias against Mr O'Brien. - Yours, etc,
NATALLIA HUNT, Ballinagee, Enniskerry, Co Wicklow.
