Richard O’Halloran and China

Sir, – Let us remember Irish citizen Richard O’Halloran, denied permission to leave China and unable to return home to his family for almost three years. Let us hope that the new year will bring about a resolution to his case and that he will be permitted to return home to his family in Ireland. His unfortunate situation has dragged on for far too long. – Yours, etc,

CONOR HOGARTY,

Blackrock, Co Dublin.
