Madam, - Let me get this straight: Finian McGrath TD (March 25th) is basically blaming the racist attitudes of some of his constituents on Michael McDowell? What makes this TD believe that racist fools would pay any attention to Michael McDowell, whether he's launching a referendum or wearing an anti-racist pin, which I have seen him sport frequently on television?
Has it occurred to Mr McGrath that some of his constituents might be just thick? Or is it politically incorrect to hurt the feelings of the stupid far right? - Yours, etc.,
JASON O'MAHONY, Coppinger Glade, Stillorgan, Co Dublin.
