Sir, - The situation in Northern Ireland has hit a new, disgusting low. The small-minded have found new, easily intimidated victims.
Terrorising school children is not politics and it's not protest. It is child abuse. The men and women involved should hang their heads in shame, not only for terrifying innocent children, but for making guilty participants of their own children and, in doing so, making them think that this form of abuse is somehow acceptable. - Yours, etc.,
Martin O'Donnell, North Circular Road, Dublin 7.
