Sir, - There are Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics. But Joe Foyle's use of numbers (June 13th), defies belief. Using his logic maybe, just maybe, 10,000 Irish women went to Britain last year to have abortions, but we don't know because they all gave Ukranian addresses! Or maybe all those women who gave Irish addresses are in fact Ukranian. But personally I feel that the probable answer is that the women who gave Irish addresses are Irish. - Yours, etc.,
