Bringing the Casino to life

Sir, – The Casino at Marino in Dublin is an architectural celebrity of the old order that requires no introduction

Sir, – The Casino at Marino in Dublin is an architectural celebrity of the old order that requires no introduction. The people who guide and maintain this star and caress it into performance every day are also worthy of applause. My sixth-year students, on a recent visit, were totally engaged, as the guide took time on every fascinating detail. The vivid theatre of art history was brought fully to life. Many thanks to the whole staff and specifically to Ruth our guide.

A visit to the Casino will not alleviate our current troubles, but may remind us that we also still have some treasures. – Yours, etc,
