Madam, - As a veteran of the anti-divorce campaign, I cannot help noticing that the media are spinning the latest divorce figures as proof that the arguments used by the likes of me were nonsense.
The figures quoted in your own Editorial show that we now have one divorce for every five marriages (I take the point that this is a crude measure but all sides use it.) This is just how it went in other countries which introduced divorce long before we did and now we see one divorce for every three marriages in Britain and one for two in the US.
It seems to me that we are going the same way as other countries, exactly as we predicted. - Yours, etc,
CIARAN O'CONNELL, Tralee, Co Kerry.
