Sir, - I read with interest John Waters's opinion (The Irish Times, May 18th) on the recently transmitted programmes. He notes: "In 10 or 20 years, I have no doubt, enterprising television producers will make documentaries about Irish psychiatric hospitals, or the family court system, or the quality of life in our urban ghettoes, and Irish society will again give itself the right to be outraged."
Let us not forget the abuse which at this moment goes on in some old people's homes. I would very much advise anybody who has left ageing relatives in one of these places to keep a wary eye. - Yours, etc., Fergal MacAlister,
