CENSORSHIP IN IRELAND SIR,-1 am directed by the Censorship of
Publications Board to advert to a letter appearing in your issue of February 6, 1959.
In this communication Mr. Oliver Edwards purports to quote from a letter to him from the Editor of the Sunday Times. The quotation starts I regret to have to say, in reply to your postcard, that as a result of criticism by the Irish censor of the first article on Havelock Ellis, we omitted the second article from the Irish edition in order to avoid depriving our Irish readers of the rest of the paper.'
The issue of the Sunday Times containing the article referred to (January 18, 1959) was not sub- mitted to, or considered by, my Board. No member of the Board and no official of the Board expressed any opinion, either officially or unofficially, about the article in question.—Yours faithfully,
R. MaCMAHON Secretary Office of Censorship of Publications,
21 Fitzwilliam Square, Dublin, C19
