Sir, – Sean Cusack (January 12th) implicitly equated the violent loyalists in Northern Ireland to Orangemen. One should make clear the distinction that while all Orangemen are to an extent unionist, not many Orange unionists are vigilante loyalists. One can’t paint everyone with the same brush – this kind of attitude is what leads to the sectarian hatred which unfortunately still exists in Ireland, on both sides of the Border. – Yours, etc,
