Sir, - Surely the appearance of the loyalist leader Johnny "Mad Dog" Adair at Drumcree under the banner of the UFF is in contravention of the terms of his release from prison under the early release programme. Reports of his involvement in proscribed paramilitary organisations since his release are also a cause for concern. Is it time the early release scheme was rethought? - Regards,
