Sir, – Congratulations to Declan McCormac on winning The Irish Timespostcard for modern Ireland competition 2011 (Free with The Irish Times, August 29th).

I have sent his card to my son and his family in Australia. After a successful career in retail management in Dublin he was made redundant, and in February this year, emigrated to join his brother in New South Wales, the last of my three sons to continue their careers abroad.

I feel he and his wife will appreciate the ironic image of modern Dublin depicted in your winning postcard. – Yours, etc,

ANN KING,
