Madam, - While the Irish media as a whole and in particular RTÉ are to be commended for their coverage and exposure of child clerical abuse both in institutions and the community, I seriously question the value of RTÉ's reshowing of States of Fear last Tuesday. The initial exposure had to be done, though it brought painful memories for all of us who were in care. Those who didn't suffer abuse (like myself) but received only kind and loving care have to stand back and see the only real mothers we have ever known repeatedly denigrated.
The abusers were few, the carers were many. With eternal gratitude to the Sisters of Mercy. - Yours, etc.,
FLORENCE HORSMAN HOGAN, Shankill, Co Dublin.
