Madam, - I see that the High Court has dismissed a petition by Ms Kathy Sinnott and that she may now face a legal bill of an estimated €500,000. This is the time to stand by a determined disability rights campaigner.
There is a sensible way around this problem. If each volunteer from the Special Olympics were to donate €10 we cold raise €300,000 immediately. During the Special Olympics 30,000 people came out and assisted the games.
I am prepared to start the fund with a substantial donation. I am also confident that the public would respond in a positive manner. It is now time to do something practical for a genuine disability rights campaigner. - Yours, etc.,
