Sir, - You should have paid more attention to your correspondent Fintan O'Toole before publishing your Editorial of April 17th about justice on trial. Your implication that faith in the justice system would somehow be restored overnight by the resignation of Justices O'Flaherty and Kelly is patently naive.
Cronyism and its inherent evils - institutionalised cheating of the public coffers by AIB and other banks, political bribery, planning irregularities by agents of the State, and any old white-collar crime that you could care to mention - seems to go unpunished. We have Tribunals to expose wrongdoing - and who are the winners? Why, our good old friends the barristers, who are amply rewarded for their involvement. Who pays? The man in the street. - Yours, etc.,
Richard Rodgers, Castleview Park, Malahide, Co Dublin.
