Madam, - Dean Robert MacCarthy's letter of April 17th prompts me to extend a catholic invitation to all Hindus and Muslims who would very much like to contribute to a meaningful discussion on religious education in schools and, for that matter, society. I have no doubt we could all profit greatly from one another's views.
Paradoxically, for progress to be made, it might be best for the "mean dean" to be excluded from the gathering. - Yours, etc,
JOHN HERRIOTT, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin.
