Madam, - As senior citizens visiting Ireland from Western Australia for the past two weeks and having travelled more than 1,000 miles right round the island including Northern Ireland, we could not help commenting on the cheery nature of all the people we met. Most of all we were favourably impressed with the tidiness of all the houses, towns and country, the colourful gardens and/or pot plants and the fresh bright colours of the houses. Added to these observations was the relative lack of litter, especially plastic bags.
We shall be returning home with very happy and positive memories of our stay. Thank you for the hospitality.
- Yours, etc,
LIONEL and AGNES ROBERTS, Albany, Western Australia.
