Sir, – Today is referendum day and the letters page will have a big gap to fill, until the comments on the results start. So to help fill the gap, and rekindle old debates, I would like to nominate Prince Charles for offering “these Atlantic islands” in his speech in Sligo, as the best alternative to the thorny issue of the British Isles. I suggest we send him a cake with the message, from the people of these Atlantic islands. Perhaps Gerry Adams could order something in Belfast. – Yours, etc,
DAVID DOYLE,
Goatstown,
Dublin 14.
