Sir, - A senior Church of Ireland clergyman refuses to attend a reception for a senior Roman Catholic clergyman hosted by the Taoiseach of the day because of the nature of the politician's relationship with his partner.
Are you sure it's not the other way around? I had to check the date to see if it wasn't April 1st.
I suppose this is progress, after a fashion. - Yours, etc.,
Ronan McDermott, Georgetown, Guyana.
