Real courage

• I'd like to commend Hilary Ni Lorchain ('I bought a dress for my unborn Christmas baby – even though I know she'll die', Irish Independent, December 1) for her brave sharing of her painful story.

While I understand that every person experiences painful situations in their own way, and many may react differently to Hilary, her intense value for human life shines through her story and heartens me.

When life is valued here at its most fragile, I feel more hope that we are closer to valuing everyone in society as we should.

Bruton article hit nail on the head

Madam – I write to offer a complimentary word to Willie Kealy on a quite superb article published on your front page (Sunday Independent, May 12, 2013). I find it uplifting, not to say encouraging, when a journalist hits the nail on the head, particularly when the target is one of our careerist elitist politicians. Another of your journalists, Gene Kerrigan, writes with laser-like accuracy in this regard. None fits the target bill better than the subject of your piece last week, Mr Bruton.
