In quest of Brian Boru

Madam, - On a visit to Dublin recently we went to visit the National Museum. I asked where I would find a section on Brian Boru. I was astonished to learn the museum has nothing on our famous High King.

As the millennium of the battle of Clontarf (1014) is only a few years away, perhaps Bertie could correct this startling situation with a pre-election donation of a few million euro rather than spend it on a peace statue on the Border.

He might even have a word with the new Church of Ireland Archbishop of Armagh and ask that Brian's grave in the cathedral grounds be marked with something more than a small plaque in the wall of the church. - Yours, etc,
