Sir, - Whatever about the right, cultural or otherwise, of loyalists to walk the Queen's highway unhindered, families living on the same Queen's highway have an absolute right to live free of the "culture" of being pipe-bombed from their homes in some areas of the North. How these attacks can take place over such a long period in such a small community with almost total impunity must be one of the strongest arguments in favour of the implementation of the Patten report - speedily, and in its entirety. - Yours, etc.,
Tom Cooper, Delaford Lawn, Knocklyon, Dublin 16.
