Sir, – Further to “Things I love about Dublin” (Frank McNally, An Irishman’s Diary, November 15th): 53. Creamy pints of Guinness in Harto’s any time but especially after beating Wales out the gate in Lansdowne Road. 54. Freewheeling through Milltown on the way to another Leinster win in the RDS. 55. The smell of singed coffee beans outside Bewley’s on Grafton Street. 56. The view across Dublin Bay from Dún Laoghaire’s East Pier. 57. The view across Dublin Bay from Howth Head. 58. The aerial view across Dublin before landing in Dublin airport. 59. Jones’s Road before Kilkenny wins another All-Ireland hurling final. – Yours, etc,
Sir, – 60. Leonard Cohen playing in my back garden every year (well almost!). – Yours, etc,
