Sir, – Catholics have grown cynical about the ability of the Irish media to report fairly/objectively on matters pertaining to their church. However, The Irish Times and Cían Nihill in particular are to be congratulated on the excellent coverage of the World Youth Day in Spain (Home News, August,19th-22nd). Journalism of the very highest standard, with a minimum of personal prejudice/agenda. What a pity that the rest of the Irish media virtually ignored this wonderful occasion: one wonders why. – Yours, etc,
