Sir, - In your edition of August 18th, you carry two stories of courts cases in the Aran Islands. One gives the accused person's name and address but provides no further information such as his colour, his sexual orientation, his class or his ethnic or racial identity. The second story gives the accused's name and address and then goes on to describe him as a traveller.
Could it be the case that Kevin Myers is now writing your court reports? - Yours, etc.,
Ciaran McCullagh, Woodbrook Road, Bishopstown, Cork.
