Sir, - It was with a certain sadness that I read the article (August 16th) on Jack Lynch's 80th birthday. If only he was 20 years younger, what an excellent president he would be.
If we are to be restricted to having a president with a political background, and I can see no other way to the Park, I would offer the view that Jack Lynch, would and should be the choice of all parties, and that he would do more for the people of this island than many, if not all, the aspirants for the job, and dare I say it? the current incumbent. - Yours, etc.,
Derek Snow,
Booterstown, Co Dublin.
