Quick Tips

Be clear and concise; short letters are best, back up your assertions. There's a wealth of information on this site and on www.youthdefence.ie so use their search facilities if you need additional information.

Don't Forget 

Put your name, address and a contact phone number on the end of the letter. They won't print your phone number but they also won't print your letter if you don't give them a phone number with which they can verify your letter if they wish to do so. Although letters are sometimes printed without a phone call, they are very rarely printed unless the phone number is provided.

It's also a good idea to write a letter of support for pro-life organisations if they are reported in a deliberately negative light.
