Madam, - Last week, after a wintertime walk along the River Dodder we visited Rathfarnham Castle. The enjoyment of the afternoon was somewhat spoilt by the charge for two coffees and two small scones of €7.90.

Rathfarnham Castle is under State care and therefore should try to avoid a reputation for ripping off visitors. - Yours, etc.,
