Sir, - Some people appear to think that in order to be fully Irish, one must be a Roman Catholic. What rubbish. It's like thinking that in order to be fully Scottish, one must be a Presbyterian, or in order to be truly English one must be a member of the Church of England.
My ancestors moved from Scotland to Ireland in the seventh century and have remained here ever since. Today I regard myself as 100 per cent Irish and wish to be thought of as nothing else. - Yours, etc., Malcolm F. Graham,
