Pledging an oath

Sir, – I wish to express my indignation at Colm Kelly’s letter (August 14th). He chided Ashling Daly Bouktila (August 10th) for not asking the Courts Service about the solemn affirmation. I believe the jurors should be informed by the Courts Service about the alternative to taking the oath. Ashling Daly Bouktila raised a good question and lots of people will agree with her concerns. – Yours, etc,
