Sir, - I am sure your readers will not expect a long explanation from me for my decision not to vote in any forthcoming general or local elections. Likewise, neither will I have to explain why I have now decided to withhold any assistance to the Garda Siochana if it does not publish the findings of its investigation into the shooting of John Carthy in Abbeylara.
Truly I find it sad to think that many decent citizens will feel and act in the same way. - Yours, etc.,
Jarlath Hayes, Stillorgan Grove, Blackrock, Co Dublin.
