Sir, - I refer to the contributions made to your edition of September 18th by two of your journalists, Kevin Myers and Fintan O'Toole. Under the headings of intellect, literacy, honesty and courage no newspaper I read has two better contributors. The media have much to answer for in their selectivity as to issues, and in their role in assisting the parasitic spin-doctoring industry, but journalism is truly a noble profession when it articulates and promotes informed public opinion and highlights injustice.
These two gentlemen, and indeed many other contributors to your newspaper, are worthy representatives of the profession. - Yours, etc.
Tom Grealy, Threadneedle Road, Galway.
