Sir, - At the time of their return from Sydney, I scoured the newspapers for details of the arrival of the Irish Olympic team. No mention. I had to ring the IOC to discover that the team had returned the previous evening.
Contrast this with the fanfare surrounding the return of the Irish Paralympic team. Does this not validate the contention of Ms Synon that we are interested only in results, that we only have time for winners? - Yours, etc.,
