• Lots of you got in touch about Rosita Boland's article last week about the Irish entries in the book 1001 Historic Sites You Must See Before You Die
• Tommy Murray from Trim, who recently published Images of Meath, is disappointed that Trim Castle was not included
"Since Noel Dempsey bought it for £1 million for the people of Trim, then had it refurbished for £3 million, thousands of visitors have come to see this spectacular structure. The number of visitors to the castle has outstripped those to all other sites in the county.I have written extensively about it because I remember when it was nothing more than a dangerous ivy-clad ruin."
• Siobhan Kane, living in Dublin but from Co Mayo, makes a pitch for the west
"I'm possibly a bit biased, in terms of Mayo, but apart from one mention of Sligo the west is not represented at all. What is going on? Croagh Patrick? Clare Island? Doon? Céide Fields? This is without even mentioning Galway. There is also a glaring omission from the northern part of our lovely country in terms of the Giant's Causeway, in Antrim. How could that not be there?"
• Albert Fenton from Dublin was puzzled by the omission of the capital's cathedrals
"I cannot understand why at least one of the great Dublin cathedrals was not included. Surely St Patrick's, with its history and, especially, its connection with Jonathan Swift, is an obvious choice for anyone visiting Dublin."
• Cathy McCarter, office manager at Bantry House, in west Cork, thinks the book should have included the stately home she helps to run
"Built in around 1690, designed by an unknown architect, Bantry House was enlarged by the second earl of Bantry and the grounds landscaped into seven terraces by local craftsmen in the 1850s.
"The house sits in the middle terrace, with an ancient wisteria circle to the south, in the Italianate Garden. The Hundred Steps lead the visitor to the top terrace; the reward at the summit is a bird's-eye view of the entire property, which just happens to overlook the glorious Bantry Bay (I know, I know: the book said it would ignore scenery).
"During the Troubles in the 1920s the library in the house was consecrated and turned into a hospital run by the nuns from the local convent.
"Just a month ago Dorling Kindersley Eyewitness travel guides named Bantry House one of the top 20 buildings, in its Architecture You Must See list, in the UK and Ireland.
"Bantry House was in eclectic company, with buildings as diverse as the Gherkin, in London, and Edinburgh Castle. Bantry House was the only Irish building to receive this accolade.
"The house is unique, in that it is unmistakably stately but totally unpretentious."
