Sir, - May I pose a question to Timothy M. Flynn, OSM? (letters, July 1st):
Would he be so kind as to either confirm or deny that the progeny of this ethereal culture, who "welcome children as a gift of God", where "fruitfulness of the womb is gratefully received and welcomed", and who experience "immense joy when conception takes place" - could it possibly be that these self same objects of desire are to be seen, at all hours and in all weathers, abandoned on O'Connell Bridge, soliciting aims in order to keep their loving parents inebriated? - Yours, etc.,
118 Castle Avenue
Clontarf, Dublin 3.
