Sir, - Ed French expressed my thoughts on your Editorial better than I could have done myself (May 24th). The Editorial lacked any sense of proportion in equating an unfortunate error of judgment with the venality of others.
I think it says something about the values of our politicians and press that this nomination raises a lather of indigation while the scandalous state of affairs whereby there is no suitable accommodation for disturbed teenagers generates no such passion. - Yours, etc.,
John Kilcullen, Lucan, Co Dublin.
