Madam, – I would like to congratulate Noel Whelan (Opinion, January 2nd) on his article on the TV3’s decision to broadcast the private health details of Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan. He has captured the sentiments of the vast majority of people at the outrageous treatment of this sensitive issue and, quite rightly, has emphasised their horror at the interview given by Prof John Crown.
Hopefully, action will be taken against TV3 for this unethical action, which has certainly led to a new low in media interference.
I would also like to assure the Lenihan family of the good wishes and the prayers of all Irish people for them at this traumatic time. – Yours, etc,
