Sir, - There should not be any speculation about the choice of a subject for a monument to succeed the Nelson Pillar, which was blown up in 1966.
The country's most celebrated roadway has six statues, none of which commemorates a native of the city. Manifestly, the most rightful heir to the Nelson site is the quintessential Dubliner who was the prime mover in the establishment of an independent Irish State: Arthur Griffith. - Yours, etc.,Conn Sheehan,
Donnybrook,
