VANISHING TEMPLE BAR

Sir, - I have watched with interest the archaeological excavations in Temple Bar, near Essex Gate. During these, a square piece of wall was revealed on the east side of the site.

Since then, however, this artefact seems to have vanished without trace. Could somebody please reassure me that I haven't witness the butchery of yet another piece of Dublin's heritage for the sake of another Temple Bar pub? - Yours, etc.,

Ardilaun Court,

Patrick Street,
