Commission did not intervene to help one side

ONCE again I have to protest at your publication of outrageous allegations against the independent Referendum Commission.

Michael O’Driscoll (Letters, June 17) makes a number of criticisms of the commission, some of which are valid in relation to the clarity of their message, the effectiveness of their PR campaign, and so on.

These are really a matter of opinion, and will lie in the eye of the beholder. However to allege, as he does, that “interventions by the commission were designed solely to benefit one side’s interpretations of disputed points” is completely unacceptable.
