LETTERS : Ireland's peace
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.From Dr Conor Cruise O'Brien Sir: Your correspondent Keith Hart (Letters, 10 January) ascribes my comments on Islam to frustration at "the failure of the peace process in Northern Ireland to break down as early as he predicted".
I never made any prediction about when the "peace process" might break down. What I did was to suggest that it would be imprudent to assume that the IRA ceasefire would continue indefinitely. This is now generally accepted.
Yours etc, CONOR CRUISE O'BRIEN Whitewater, Dublin 11 January
