A Matter Of Form?

Sir, - The Irish Times takes pride (mostly justifiably) in presenting a balanced picture

Sir, - The Irish Times takes pride (mostly justifiably) in presenting a balanced picture. Why then on Page 4 of your issue of April 3rd do you say: "Ms Beverly Cooper-Flynn (34) had sued RTE journalist Charlie Bird and retired farmer Mr James Howard"? You report the age of Ms Cooper-Flynn but not that of the gentlemen. You afford a title to Ms Cooper-Flynn and to one of the gentlemen but not to the other. What is the game? - Yours, etc.,
