Madam, - Cliona Ní Shuilleabháin (Letters, Nov 8th) has got her sums wrong. If Padraic Colum died in 1972, it is 34 years, not 25, since his death.
No doubt, she was confusing it with the year of his birth, which was 125 years ago this year. - Yours, etc,
LIAM DUNNE, Dunraven Downs, Blackrock Road, Cork.
