Sir, – With regards to the recent controversy about grandparents needing permission to hug their grandchildren, I would contend that often it can be the grandparents who might be the first to pick up on any issues or stress a child might be experiencing.
Particularly if they are doing school runs or dropping them off to extracurricular activities, as is often the case. – Yours etc,
FERGUS MADDEN,
Goatstown,
