MEN IN THE MOTHERS' UNION

PADDY WALLACE,

Madam, - Michael W. Walker (January 21st), grand secretary of the Freemasons, referred to the Mothers' Union saying that he believed that our organisation "did not particularly want men as members".

Just to put the record straight, I would like to point out that the Mothers' Union does indeed welcome men as members.

There are currently about 1,000 men in these islands who are members of the MU - and that number is growing as people realise the role the MU plays in supporting families worldwide.

Further information about our organisation may be found on the websites www.mothersunion.ie and www.themothersunion.org. - Yours, etc.,

PADDY WALLACE,

MU All-Ireland President,

Randalstown,
