Sir, - Tom Farrell's Irishman's diary of November 29th was an interesting review of both Irish and Italian organised crime in the US. One correction: Father Louis Gigante is a Bronx, not Brooklyn, activist priest, as well as the brother of Vincent "The Chin" Gigante, was also a star basketball player at Cardinal Hayes High School in the Bronx, circa 1950.
And after all, Bronxies are proud that they reside in the only New York city borough on the mainland of the United States. To place the locational error in context, despite the proximity of the Bronx and Brooklyn, it is like describing a Cork priest as coming from Dublin. - Yours, etc.,
