Sir, - John Dillon says "there are still only two places in the Republic where bypasses can be carried out, the Blackrock Clinic and the Mater Private Hospital" (in Dublin, presumably).
This egregious error is repeated twice, later on in the article. Does it reflect invincible metropolitan ignorance (beyond the Phoenix Park, "all is a desert") or does Prof Dillon fondly imagine that Cork University Hospital, with its renowned heart surgery centre, lies outside the jurisdiction? - Yours, etc., John A. Murphy,
