Sir, - In spite of the IRA starting to decommission its weapons, I could no more bring myself to wear an Easter Lily (M. Foran, October 23rd) than your average German could wear a swastika. That is the depth to which the IRA and Sinn FΘin have brought Irish republicanism over the past 30 years. - Yours, etc.,
Michael Dolan, Wilderness Grove, Clonmel, Co Tipperary.
