Madam, - Kevin Myers's excoriating Irishman's Diary in Thursday's edition highlights the wilful neglect, bordering on contempt, shown for the victims of violent crime in this country by the legal establishment. The waffle and propaganda about the killing of Donna Cleary being a "watershed" moment in our fractured society is just the empty rhetoric we have heard too many times before. - Yours, etc,
