Sir, - In your edition of August 7th, on pages 1, 6, 7, 8, 16 and 17, eight correspondents plus your Editorial are devoted to rubbishing Michelle de Bruin before the outcome of her appeal. Yet last Monday you could not spare a few lines to let us know that the gold medal was won by Ireland, silver by Germany and bronze by Britain in the European Gliding Championships in Poland contested by 16 nations.
If I continue to buy The Irish Times it will be because the last page is important to octogenarians. - Yours, etc., Brendan J. Ellis,
