I am delighted that the state visit of the President of Ireland (“Peace dividend”, 5 April) included Westminster Abbey and Coventry Cathedral but I am astonished that a Catholic church was not included in the itinerary. Without doubt a brief stop at Westminster Cathedral would have been a great tribute to those Irish navvies who built the finest Catholic churches in this country, not to forget those who gave of the widow’s mite so that we have places of worship today.
