Sir, - Tom O'Dowd (April 24th) states: "The facts speak for themselves: the present Government is driven by economic forces, society comes a poor second." By the teachers' actions in withdrawing their services and consequently depriving our students of part of their education, are they not displaying the very same attitude? - Yours, etc.,
Brian O'Callaghan, Northbrook Road, Ranelagh, Dublin 6.
