Madam, - In the course of his letter on the EU Reform Treaty referendum (December 5th) Tony Brown writes: "It is to be hoped that the forthcoming debate will be based on fact."
While Mr Brown's aspirations for the conduct of the debate are entirely laudable, may I also suggest that letter-writers on this topic be asked to declare any party political or career interest in the outcome. - Yours, etc,
CONOR O'BRIEN, Mount Anville Park, Dublin 14.
