Pledging an oath

Sir, – Ashling Daly Bouktila (August 10th) will be happy to know that those not wishing to take a religious oath when serving on a jury can instead choose the solemn affirmation; which is entirely secular.

Had she taken the time to ask, rather than stewing in indignation, she would have been informed of this by Courts Service staff. – Yours, etc,

COLM KELLY,

Alexander Reid,
