Sir, – Twenty-five years ago in Dublin, I was walking on a crutch after being diagnosed with a deep vein thrombosis in my left leg.
Coming out of Tesco supermarket on Baggot Street, I heard a woman’s voice from behind saying, “I’ll give you a hand.”
Despite my protests, she grabbed my shopping bag and helped me to the United Arts Club in Upper Fitzwilliam Street, where I was a new member.
I invited her in for a drink.

In the club bar, I noticed everyone was looking at her.
Only after she left, I was told that my newfound carer was Brenda Fricker.
A moment of kindness never to be forgotten. – Yours, etc,
KIERAN DEVANEY,
chairman,
The United Arts Club,
Dublin.
