Sir, - "The Drapier" was the nom de plume used by cleric, defender of the poor, savage opponent of the effects of laissez-faire capitalism, Jonathan Swift.
How ironic that an anonymous politician should use this cover to hide behind while delivering a bilious attack on CORI and its defence of the disadvantaged (Drapier, October 27th).
Would it not be more apt to offer Fr Sean Healy the weekly cloak of the Drapier for his pertinent views? - Yours, etc.,
