No evidence of political bias against non-Catholics

WHAT on earth is Maurice Fitzgerald on about?

He demands to know (Letters, August 22) why there aren’t more non-Catholics in the Dáil and accuses the South of hypocrisy (presumably because many here, with much justification, have long seen the North as an anti-Catholic sectarian statelet for most of its history).

Is Mr Fitzgerald suggesting that non-Catholics are somehow officially prevented from entering public office here?
