Sir, – Mayors, directly elected or otherwise, have no political significance in the Irish democratic process. A Dáil Éireann, whose own powers have been largely ceded to a European superstructure and a Cabinet sub-committee, is unlikely to grant a domestic political usurper real powers. Alas. – Yours, etc,
Dr MAIT Ó FAOLÁIN,
Beechwood Court,
