SHANE O'CONNOR,
Sir, - I was struck by the relevance of the sentiment expressed in Thinking Anew in The Irish Times last Saturday (April 27th): "We are forever giving degrees of status to varying jobs and skills. We measure everything by its worth and value. We are continually making comparisons and saying one person is better or worse than another." Benchmarking? - Yours, etc.,
SHANE O'CONNOR, Newbridge, Co Kildare.
