Madam, - What has become of us? Fox-hunting and hare-coursing can generate much moral outrage but not, apparently, the kneecapping of kids in Belfast, Derry and Armagh. Meanwhile, Gerry, Martin and Mitchell can strut around Montrose without fear of a glove being laid on them, Kevin Myers remains in a minority and David Trimble is considered unreasonable for his stance on the issue. - Yours, etc.,
PAT O'MAHONY, Marine Road, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin.
