Sir, - Patrick Goggin (November 9th) supports the integration of the Irish Army into the European Union's Rapid Reaction Force as "did John Redmond judge that Ireland's honour demand an acceptance of its responsibilities as a European nation in a European war".
This is exactly why PANA opposes the transformation of the Irish Army into a regiment of the Army of the European Union. Our "honour" might require another 50,000 dead Irish. - Yours, etc.,
Roger Cole, Chair, Peace & Neutrality Alliance, Blackrock, Co Dublin.
