Sir, – May I simperingly offer my humble home to our peripatetic Cabinet for its first post-summer meeting ("Cabinet to meet in Lissadell House next week", July 14th)?
Unfortunately, in these straitened times, I can provide neither silk kimonos nor gazelles. However, there will be ample parking, tea and coffee facilities – self-service only, I’m afraid – and plenty of discount store biscuits.
In return I ask only that all windows be open to the south for the duration of the meeting to allow the hot air which will doubtless be generated to heat the garden. – Yours, etc,
PATRICIA MULKEEN,
