Sir, - I read with interest the letter of November 30th from Bernie McNally, chairperson of Justice for the Forgotten.
I wonder if she appreciates fully the immense frustration which is felt by some people in this country at all the terrorists who avoided apprehension by the authorities, often as a result of courts in the Republic refusing to grant extradition warrants, sometimes on the basis of what appeared to be fairly flimsy grounds.
It is all very well to berate Mr Blair, for whom I hold no brief whatsoever, but if she wants "his government" to face up to the responsibility to the innocent victims of the bombings of Dublin and Monaghan, maybe the Government of the Irish Republic ought to face up to the responsibility it must have had to the innocents of Omagh, Enniskillen, Warrington, Canary Wharf and countless other places too numerous to mention.
I hope that Mrs McNally gets what she wants, but I equally hope that others in similar positions get what they want too. - Yours, etc.,
Steven Dale, Christie Close, Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, England.
