Sir, - I find it staggeringly obtuse that unionist politicians in the North are making such an issue of the decommissioning of republican terrorist arms, when there is nothing short of a loyalist war going on in Belfast. What about those weapons, or don't they count? Don't those lives matter? I think some of these politicians should look a little closer to home before pointing the accusatory finger at anybody. - Yours, etc.,
Declan Carty, Monkstown, Co Dublin.
