Sir, - Regarding the funding of women's groups I note that Grainne Healy (October 28th), Chairwoman of NWCI and vice-president of the European Women's Lobby, suggested "working with women's organisations (including EWL) to see a substantial budget increase for all women's organisations".
Am I missing something here? Was that not what Dana proposed last year (to increase EWL funding by an extra 100,000 to bring its total to 700,000 on condition that an extra 100,000 be provided for other women's groups)? Can Grainne Healy explain why the EWL voted against this proposal? - Yours, etc.,
Mrs Mary Stewart, Ardeskin, Donegal Town.
