Sir, - On the morning after the Northern Ireland Agreement I listened to the radio from 5.30 a.m. until 9.00 a.m., first BBC Radio 4, then RTE 1. The whole affair was relentlessly thrashed out, up, down and sideways. But one name was never mentioned: Mo Mowlam. In The Irish Times of April 13th, Frank Millar, London Editor, devotes nine paragraphs to an enumeration of all the "heroes" of the agreement and only in the 10th does he add that `it would be easy to overlook the commitment of Mo Mowlam and David Andrews'. Just so! Mo Mowlam: who she? Has Mr Millar perhaps taken to heart the Gospel parable in which the labourer who has "borne the burden and heat of the day" is given the same credit as the one who came along at the 11th hour?
Now I come to think of it, where are the other females: Brid Rodgers, Monica McWilliams and our own Liz O'Donnell? There's men for you! - Yours etc.,
(Mrs) Claire O'Kelly,
Blackrock, Cork.
