Madam, - I was ice-skating for the third time this winter in Dublin and what I witnessed was one magnificent hour of pure joy and genuine happiness. In any activity in Ireland I have seen or joined in with I have never seen so many people just enjoying themselves. Oh why can't the Government or a business person build a year-round skating rink.
By the way if you get a chance go skating. You might get a sore bum but it is worth it. - Yours, etc.,
BOB GORDON, Dalkey, Co Dublin.
