Madam, - Contrast the unnecessary attention bestowed by the HSE on the unborn child of Miss D with its inaction in the sad case of the Dunne children in Wexford when help was so clearly needed. We Irish are world-renowned for protecting the unborn and revering the dead. It seems to be just in the period between birth and death that the HSE, and we as a nation, so often fail our people. - Yours, etc,
JOHN GILSENAN, Inistioge, Co Kilkenny.
Madam, - With reference to your editorial of May 10th, since when has the term "civilised" been identified with approval for the killing of an innocent child in the womb? - Yours, etc
