Sir, I found the interview with Gerry Adams on last Friday's Late Late Show very interesting not least the baying of some of the audience, when he attempted to reply to the question put by Gay Byrne as to the origins of his income.
Mike Murphy's speculation as to the personal sacrifice John Hume appears to be prepared to make, to assist furthering the peace process, led me to wonder if some of the hostility toward people like Gerry Adams is that we are uncomfortable in the presence of people who stand witness, often at great cost to themselves and those they love, to living lives for wider ideals, rather than for the primary fulfilment of personal needs, happiness and security. Yours, etc., Shillelagh, Co Wicklow.
