Sir, – I note that the Government allowed a free vote on the proposed legislation last Wednesday. With all due respect to our duly elected President, if county councillors were allowed a free vote when individuals were seeking a nomination for the presidential election last year the result might have been different. – Yours, etc,

TONY CORCORAN,

Rathfarnham,

Dublin 14.
