Madam, - If there is truth in recent claims that Sinn Féin and the IRA are opposite sides of the same coin, surely last Thursday's headline in The Irish Times should have read "Sinn Fein president calls on himself to abandon violence", rather than "Sinn Fein president calls on IRA to abandon violence". - Yours, etc.,

Madam, - So, after seven years, Gerry Adams tells us he endorses the Good Friday Agreement he signed up to in 1998. Wow! - Yours, etc.,
