Madam, - I suggest Bord Fáilte send someone with a paintbrush down to Temple Bar to cover up the graffiti at the side of Blooms Hotel that reads, "Go Home American Fascists. Ireland hates you" - and then go round the corner and paint over the American flag with the swastika through it. Otherwise, these might be the least confusing signs an American visitor sees while on holiday here. - Yours, etc.,
BARBARA HAMMOND, Dublin 2.
