Sir, - When is the Government going to take responsibility for the right and proper regulation of all who call themselves counsellors? Miss Justice Laffoy's judgment in the cases of Baby A and Baby B once again highlights the need for statutory regulation of the counselling profession. The Irish Association for Counselling and Therapy has been pressing successive governments to safeguard the public interest in this matter, with little effect to date. - Yours, etc.,
Dr Patricia Kennedy, Chairperson, Irish Association for Counselling and Therapy, Cumberland Street, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin.
