Sir, - In response to Mr Justice Rory O'Hanlon's latest tirade (July 3rd), I suggest that he spends a little less time closeted in his study, inspecting the dusty tomes of ancient philosophers, Church Fathers, and Victorian playwrights.
Were Mr O'Hanlon to do some thinking of his own, never mind talking to a few individuals who are actually alive and coping with the complexities of the real world, he might gain more relevant insights into the issues upon which he presumes to pronounce with such misguided authority. - Yours, etc., W de Vries,
Bath Avenue, Dublin 4.
