DEIRDRE CARROLL,
Sir, - As a national organisation working to promote a positive image of people with intellectual disabilities we were disappointed to read Kevin Myers's piece (An Irishman's Diary, July 31st) on the Commonwealth Games in which he equates stupidity, American footballers and mental disability. Surely there is enough stigma and ignorance surrounding people with disabilities in this country without adding to it, albeit in a tongue-and-cheek way. - Yours, etc.,
General Secretary,
DEIRDRE CARROLL, NAMHI, Fitzwilliam Place, Dublin 2.
