Sir, - I write in response to Kevin Myers's Diary lauding the religious institutions of this country for their work over the years. May I also include the people who wrote in agreeing with him.
As an ex-inmate (I use the word deliberately) of the notorious Artane Industrial School, I can but say: "Ignorance is indeed bliss" on this occasion. - Yours, etc.,
Peter Pallas, Ballynacally, Ennis, Co Clare.
