Sir, - Why is no-one questioning the credentials of the unionists to attempt to hold the high moral ground over decommissioning? Do they not owe the foundation of the NI statelet, with its armed police and Specials, to Carson's private army, with guns run into Larne from Germany in April 1914, for the purpose of subverting a democratic constitutional Home Rule process? Should not the Patten and De Chastelaine processes be somehow linked? - Yours, etc., Roy Johnston,
Rathmines, Dublin 6.
