Removal of statues is an act of intolerance

THE HSE has removed religious statues from two hospitals in Killarney (Irish Examiner, March 10).

At worst, their action is intolerant. At best, it is insensitive. Their decision reminds me of a recent court case in Italy which ruled that the display of the cross in a school room was offensive to atheists.

That ruling is in contempt of the international will of the people.
