Sir, - Cathal MacCarthy castigates Deaglan de Breadun's article on Dr Noel Browne (November 27th). Apparently Dr Browne's opinions are now mere confused ramblings", since the Ireland that owes him so much is "long dead and surely, by now, mouldering in the grave".
Indeed it is, and Cathal MacCarthy seems totally ignorant of the fact that it is precisely because we had men and women of Noel Browne's calibre that it is so. - Yours, etc.,
