Sir, - With reference to the ongoing debate about the Irish language and the Irish people, it is interesting how Kevin Myers is both so realistic and amusing on the subject and Gabriel Rosenstock (September 23rd) so full of spite. Pragmatism and good humour is so much more appealing. The pro-Irish lobbyists could learn a lot from that. - Yours, etc.,
Mary Stanley, Charlton Lawn, Goatstown, Dublin 14.
