Sir, - There is a convention in RTE Radio 1 that each programme is explicitly introduced. This convention applies even to routine items broadcast several times a day, such as weather forecasts and traffic news.There is a notable exception. The evening Angelus from Monday to Friday is not introduced or otherwise acknowledged. It is ignored. Is this a decision made by RTE?The Angelus is one of the oldest prayers in Ireland, recalling the incarnation of Christ and the motherhood of Our Blessed Lady. For what reason is the ringing of the evening Angelus by RTE burdened with such implicit dishonour? -Yours, etc., Cyril Daly,
Howth Road, Killester, Dublin 5.
