GRAHAM CASWELL,
Madam, - Might I suggest that the new monument in O'Connell Street be referred to not as a spike or spire, but as a needle? I also suggest a slight design modification by which an eye large enough for a camel to pass through is incorporated into the base.
Such a monument would surely be a eloquent expression of the predominant values and attitudes of Ireland at the turn of the millennium. - Yours, etc.,
GRAHAM CASWELL, Ferrybank, Arklow, Co Wicklow.

Madam, - In addition to all the laudable suggestions, could I simply add: "The North Pole"? - Yours, etc.,

Madam, - Why not have our own "Eyeful Tower" ? - Yours, etc.
