Bob and Bono: give credit where it’s due

I WAS amazed to read Robert O’Sullivan’s letter (Irish Examiner, June 13) slating Bono and Bob Geldof for their charity work in Africa.

Even more amazing is that he is not alone. I agree, up to a point, with his criticism of Geldof, who has expressed shame at his Irishness.

However, this accusation could never be levelled at Bono who, wherever he goes, consistently wears his Irishness on his sleeve, and acknowledges how proud he is to be Irish.
