Lady In Orange

Sir, - I refer to D. K. Henderson's letter of March 24th

Sir, - I refer to D. K. Henderson's letter of March 24th. I am a presidential watcher, indeed self-appointed, and was never more so than during the recent St Patrick's Festival which was graced by the patronage of President McAleese.

Before we take Mr Henderson's prediction any further, I should point out that the President was actually wearing orange, not red, and a beautiful shade of orange too. To anyone disappointed by this revelation, with impeachment hopes dashed, I offer a bright and cheerful green festival poncho in recompense. Serious applications only, please. - Yours, etc., Marie Claire Sweeney, Executive director, St Patrick's Festival,

Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin 2.
