Sir, - Innocents are dying in the Balkans. The British Labour Party is in revolt over disability cutbacks. The Taoiseach faces serious accusations. In Northern Ireland the peace process is on a knife-edge. And yet Prime Ministers Blair and Ahern saw nothing inappropriate in going to Wembley to watch a football match.
Breaks, yes; abdication of duty at crucial times, no. -Yours, etc., Andrew Greaney,
Clontarf, Dublin.
