Madam, - Congratulations to John Waters and to The Irish Times for highlighting constantly the injustice done to many fathers and their children in the course of marriage separation.

The fact that the great and the good believed that not reporting decisions in the marriage courts served the cause of justice, or the best interests of those involved, should be a salutary lesson to all of us of the damage that a powerful lobby, in this case elements of the women's movement, can bring about. - Yours, etc.,
