Sir, - I felt demeaned when I read of the manner in which the Irish rugby coach has been dismissed.
I have been attending internationals for seven decades now so I cannot really be said to be an impressionable youngster.
If this action was taken on my behalf, I disassociate myself from its manner and, as the son of a Corkman, from its probable participants. I wish Mr. Warren Gatland well in the future and I will follow his career with interest.- Yours, etc.,
Dr. Tom Linehan, Helens Bay, Co Down.
