A Chara, - Cllr Nicky Kehoe of Sinn Fein takes Pat Rabbitte to task for his alleged failure to criticise Unionist sectarianism and describes Mr Rabbitte's calling for the disbandment of paramilitary organisations as "political opportunism" ( November 18th).

Mr Rabbitte can answer for himself but would Nicky Kehoe join with me in criticising all forms of sectarianism, whether Unionist or Republican and also in stating that it is in the best interests of longterm peace on this island that all paramilitary organisations do disband? A simple "Yes" or "No" will do, Cllr Kehoe. - Is mise,

Cllr MALCOLM BYRNE (FF), Cathaoirleach, Gorey Town Council, Gorey, Co. Wexford.
