Sir, - There have been calls from politicians and clergymen for the children attempting to attend the Holy Cross School in Ardoyne to use the back entrance.
Would these same politicians and clergymen issue the same recommendation if the children involved were black or Asian or Jewish? I doubt it. The day of croppies lying down in the face of seething bigots hurling vile abuse at parents and children is over. - Yours, etc.,
Tom Cooper, Delaford Lawn, Knocklyon, Dublin 16.
