Sir, - Regarding your report of Fr Michael Mac Greil's latest study of the nation's prejudices concerning (inter alia) Aids patients, homosexuals and travelling people just as Paris is not France, 1,000 interviewees are not "the nation". Certainly 250 interviewees are not "the nation". Deny citizenship to some of these people? Like they did with Rostropovich and Solenitzyn, and then found they'd made a mistake!
Incidentally, what is the difference between Aids and any other terminal illness? - Yours, etc.,
Howth Road,
Dublin 5.
