Sir, - I wish to apologise to Michael O'Brien, who correctly pointed out (March 13th) that our biography of Peadar O'Donnell will not be the first life of the novelist and agitator.
We are treading a path already taken by Michael McInerney, whose Peadar O'Donnell: Irish Social Rebel was published by the O'Brien Press in 1974.-Yours, etc.,
Waterloo Road,
Dublin 4.
