Disparaging Donegal

Sir, – As an emigrant living in London it is usually my delight to read your paper. I am appalled by Donald Clarke’s reference to my home county as “Bloody Donegal” in his article “No offence to George Best, but loyalists need another hero (Opinion, September 7th). For too long Donegal residents and her emigrant sons have listened to poorly timed and placed jokes at our expense.

I am outraged that such a derogatory comment made it to my eyes. – Yours, etc,
