Sir, - Perhaps we may hope that, as they survey the consequences of the murderous assault on their city, those Irish-American New Yorkers who have in the past contributed so generously to IRA/Sinn FΘin will reflect on the reality of how their money was regularly invested in Belfast and elsewhere.
And might we also hope that that section of the Irish electorate sympathetic to Sinn FΘin will look below their populist blandishments? - Yours, etc.,
James King, Herbert Park, Dublin 4.
