State reception for cardinal

Sir, - Why does your edition of May 15th include no picture of the guest of honour at the Government reception

Sir, - Why does your edition of May 15th include no picture of the guest of honour at the Government reception. To accuse the cardinal of "pointedly" referring to his message about marriage and the family - a theme of every address he makes - rings a little hollow in the light of your own selective reporting of church matters. Monday's Church of Ireland Synod meeting had, I suppose, no bearing on the absence of members of its House of Bishops. - Yours, etc.,

John F. Ryan, St Gatien's Court, Dublin 14.
