Madam, - I refer to your report of the Aosdána General Assembly in which the following appears: "All Aosdána members receive[ d] an annual stipend worth over €12,000" (The Irish Times, May 4th).
I don't. The numbers, and indeed the names, of those who do request and qualify for and receive the cnuais are readily available. But the untruth that all elected members automatically come by this bounty is one that is too often and readily perpetrated. I resent it. - Yours, etc,
