Madam, - The assertion by Liam Reid in your edition of November 27th concerning the post-mortem into the death of young William Delaney is seriously incorrect and the Christian Brothers wish to set the record straight. In doing so, we do not want to cause further distress to relatives of the deceased.
The post-mortem on William Delaney in April 2001 did not find evidence that the boy had received a blow to the head.
Any claim or report to the contrary was not substantiated in that there was no evidence of violence or trauma in the report of the Assistant State Pathologist. - Yours etc.,
Brother EDMUND GARVEY, Director of Communications, Christian Brothers, Dublin 7
