Madam, - Congratulations to Minister for Justice Michael McDowell for his words on IRA/Sinn Féin at the Progressive Democrats' conference in Cork While most people never take a stand in their lives and some people may take a stand once in their life, Mr McDowell has the courage to take a stand every day of his life. - Yours, etc.,
Dr M.A. HONAN,
Portarlington,
Co Laois.
