Sir, - Dr Garret Fitzgerald's appreciation of the roles played by statesmen and civil servants from these islands and the US in the process which has culminated in the Good Friday agreement is both generous and honest (The Irish Times, April 11th). But surely it is overly modest of Garret not to include even a passing remark on his own role in starting the long process, in the aftermath of the terror of the early 1980s, with the Anglo-Irish Agreement. His vision of a pluralist Ireland accepting all traditions and faiths and his constant, erudite defence of this vision must make him the quiet hero of the peace process. - Yours, etc.,
