Madam, - While we are at it, why do we not write the following into the EU constitution:
"All powers of Government belong to the people under the Idea of God: which Idea refuses to vanish from the realms of human thought and without which Idea there is little or no joy."
Would the above offend the sensibilities of atheist, theist or agnostic? - Yours, etc.,
IRENE REDMOND, Granville Road, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin.
