Coverage of Dwyer murder trial

Sir, – While I trust the value judgement exercised by your newspaper in devoting an unprecedented five full pages to the Graham Dwyer murder case and verdict, I have to question Conor Lally's article ("A middle-class professional with the ultimate double life), which details the background of his wife, Gemma Dwyer, including her birthplace, father's employment and other family members' medical connections.

There is no public interest in sharing these facts nor in splashing pictures of Gemma Dwyer centre-page.

Elaine O’Hara’s life was taken by Graham Dwyer but his wife’s life has also been destroyed by his actions.

This article’s highlighting of Gemma Dwyer’s personal details is nothing other than a shameful lapse in standards. – Yours, etc, DR MAITIÚU Ó FAOLÁIN Foxrock, Dublin 18.
