Sir, - I'm prepared to facilitate reconciliation talks between the Sports Minister, Mr McDaid and Mr Pat Hickey when they arrive back in Ireland.
Mr Hickey does this country no service when complaining to the Sydney Morning Herald about "the Government's refusal to help with money for a hospitality house" during the Olympic games. Bringing the dogfight into the media in Australia during the games portrays a very negative image of Ireland. - Yours, etc.,
Pat O'Grady, Windfield Gardens, Knocknacarra, Galway.
