Sir, - I was deeply shocked to read your recent report that our Minister for Finance has effectively ignored the 800,000 Irish signatures for cancellation of Third World debt.

Your clear and moving coverage of the crushing burden of Third World debt underlines the absolute need for a compassionate and generous response.

I appeal to the Irish Government to listen to the loud and clear mandate of the people and to back the call for debt cancellation. - Yours, etc.,

Frank Boylan, Wynberg Park, Blackrock, Co Dublin.
