Sir, - I write to congratulate John Hume and David Trimble. The hearts of all true Irishmen rejoice at their success. They have both shown that the purpose of life is not to be popular, but to make a difference. Their efforts serve as a superb example to all people on this island and beyond our shores that the will to succeed overcomes doubt and fear of failure.
I salute their courage and wish them both, and all concerned, every good wish in the crusade for a lasting peace. - Yours, etc., Tony McKernan,
Norbiton Hill, Raheen, Limerick.
