Madam, - I would like to correct an error in the obituary of Sean Clancy carried in your edition of October 1st.
It stated that Sean Clancy was the last surviving veteran of the Irish War of Independence. In fact, Dan Keating, still hale and hearty and approaching his 105th birthday next January, is the last and faithful survivor of that historic period. He remains to this day a faithful citizen of the All-Ireland Republic proclaimed in 1916 and ratified by the people of All Ireland in 1918. He is the patron of Republican Sinn Féin. - Is mise,
DES DALTON, Vice President, Republican Sinn Féin, Parnell Street, Dublin 1.
