Sir, – The Rev Patrick G Burke (March 16th) got the wrong person in his sights for his latest missile. The Brendan Butler highlighted in his letter of March 14th was not the author of the remarks attributed to him. It was a Kevin Butler from Fairview who should have been the subject of his latest diatribe. – Yours, etc,

BRENDAN BUTLER,

Malahide,
