Sir, - Fr. David O'Hanlon of Pontifico Collegio Irlandese refers to President Robinson's appearance when meeting the Pope as "cheap, bedizened in, Kelly green and showy jewellery.
if I recall correctly, she wore a refined plain wool two piece which was perhaps a shade simple when compared with the extravagantly bejewelled and embroidered ensemble favoured by the Pope. - Yours, etc.,
Richmond Court,
Dublin 6.
