Sir, - Full marks to the African National Congress delegation for coming to Ireland in our hour of need. It's refreshing to see that we have many friends in South Africa prepared to assist and develop the peace process.
We appreciate their support, advice and guidance. The Irish people will never forget a gesture like this. The ANC knows well that the new Ireland we are all trying to build will be based on liberty, equality and fraternity. Above all, it will be about accommodating difference. - Yours, etc., Finian McGrath
