Sir, – Breandan O’Broin (September 4th) praises the use of funeral eulogies. Judging by the largely positive reaction in Co Meath to Bishop Smith’s ban on same, it would appear that the Roman Catholic community in the county are more familiar with the meaning/purpose of a Requiem Mass than are those in other diocese. A tribute perhaps to Bishop Smith’s wise leadership. – Yours, etc,
