Sir, - On RTE Radio the brother of the murdered 16-yearold Co Down boy James Morgan, said he had no doubt that the murder was sectarian, that someone had "beaten the life" out of James because he was a Catholic.
Eighteen-year-old Bernadette Martin was shot four times in the face because she was a Catholic with a Protestant boyfriend.
Sean Browne was kidnapped, tortured and murdered because he was a Catholic associated with a Nationalist sporting organisation.
Robert Hamill was kicked to death after being chased by a Loyalist mob through Portadown.
Are this State's politicians blind to what's happening to members of the nationalist community on Northern Ireland? Why no meeting between British and Irish prime ministers to address the situation? At every dot and comma of British and Irish joint statements on Northern Ireland, Unionists must we "reassured", yet the above-mentioned atrocities cause scarcely a political ripple. It is quite obvious that nationalists are second-class citizens in the eyes of both British and Irish governments, - Yours etc.,
