Mary Robinson and a princess

Sir, – Colm O'Gorman would like an independent delegation to investigate the condition of Princess Latifa ("Amnesty International backs independent inquiry on princess's conditions", News, December 31st).

I would find it difficult to think of anyone better qualified to do the job than Mary Robinson. Is Mr O’Gorman’s definition of “independent” someone who agrees with him? – Yours, etc,

TERRY PURCELL,
