Sir, - Jamie Smyth informs your readers that in 1980 Dr Danny O'Hare was the founding president of the National Institute of Higher Education, Dublin, now DCU.
Over four years earlier, as Minister for Education, I had the pleasure of founding the institute, choosing its governing body and giving it the title of NIHE, Dublin.
Corroboration, if required, may be sought from the eminent persons who were chosen for that governing body. - Yours, etc.,
Dick Burke, Ailesbury Road, Dubliin 4.
