Madam, - Former television host Eva Herman has been demonised by the German media for suggesting that Nazi-era Germany had more family-centred policies than modern Germany ( Weekend Review, October 13th).
She condemns the modern German state for pumping money "only into state-subsidised kindergartens".
Whatever about the validity of her claim, Irish parents can only dream of the day we can complain about our own State doing the same. - Yours, etc,
DAVID POWER, Grange Manor, Lucan, Co Dublin.
