Sir, - For sheer brass-necked hypocrisy it would be hard to beat the letter from Cllr Dessie Ellis of Sinn FΘin (September 25th). Seeking to make capital from the appalling events in New York, he questions our collective attitudes to the murderous Dublin and Monaghan bombings of 1974.
Well, Cllr Ellis, I, along with all right-thinking Irish people, condemn the murders in Dublin and Monaghan, the murders in New York and all murderous IRA and loyalist paramilitary bombings and security force killings over the past 30 years. How about you? - Yours, etc.,
Cllr Dermot Lacey, Beech Hill Drive, Dublin 4.
