Sir, - I hear the Irish Government is looking for a relatively inexpensive millennium monument. Might I suggest demolishing that eyesore, the Anna Livia fountain in O'Connell Street? Surely removing the grotesque might be equivalent to creating the beautiful.
And if a wrecking ball were accidentally to fly loose and knock down the "Harp" building at the corner of D'Olier Street and Burgh Quay, would anyone really mind? - Yours, etc., Bernard Kelly,
