Sir, - Today's (March 26th) article, under the heading "Suir Winner", in the feature on the harbour boards gives the impression that while Waterford was Ireland's premier port in medieval times, it only recently became a fully fledged city. In fact, on the visit of King Henry II in 1171, Waterford was elevated to city status. - Yours, etc.,
Chief executive, Waterford Chamber of
Commerce,
Waterford.
