Madam, - Shaun Quinn, chief executive of Fáilte Ireland, calls for more "iconic" festivals to boost tourism (The Irish Times,March 15th). In an Ireland moving forward from its church-dominated past, how fitting it would be to acknowledge our pagan roots by reintroducing the summer Lughnasa festival. - Yours, etc,
LUKE SAUNDERS, Beacon Hill, Dalkey.
