The Irish Times - Letters to the Editor.

Sir, – Your paper yesterday carried letters decrying the pernicious effect of Catholic indoctrination in our schools, along with another suggesting the root causes of domestic violence be investigated. Might there be a correlation? Is it possible that inculcating in our children from their most formative years a religion that regards women as inherently inferior has had more far-reaching consequences than most of us could have imagined? – Yours, etc,

BERNIE LINNANE,
