Madam, - I share the revulsion of Diarmaid Mac Dermott (June 13th) that Co Dublin is to be besmirched with yet a third restaurant named after Mao Zedong, the most evil and depraved man that history has produced.

I would sooner feast in Café Hitler, Café Stalin, Café Saddam, Café Pol Pot, Café Pinochet, Café Ho Chi Minh, Café Kim Il Sung & Son and countless others than set foot in Cafe Mao.

I challenge its owners to defend their disgraceful choice of name, or change it. - Yours, etc,

TONY ALLWRIGHT, Killiney, Co Dublin.
