Edition Bobbett1. Texts by Elizabeth F. Bobbett: 1.1.3. Correspondence, Letters to newspapers

1966 Elizabeth Bobbett: Letter to the Irish Farmers’ Journal, 23.07.1966

Criticism unjustified

In your issue of 9th July you published a letter from “Small Wicklow Farmer,” Baltinglass, who criticises Mr. Michael Byrne, Chairman of the Leinster Milk Producers’ Association. Your correspondent, when he had the impudence to write such a letter should have had the courage to sign his name to it. To my knowledge, no one has done more to bring unity amongst the NFA and LMPA than Michael Byrne. Elizabeth Bobbett, County President, NFA, Wicklow.
