Madam, - I would like to add a comment to Shane Hegarty's TV review of November 29th. In the Hidden History programne, Manchan Magan mentioned in passing that the Irish Free State was the first of the British colonies to gain its independence from the Crown. I'm sure this will be shocking news to the citizens of the United States. - Yours, etc.,
SHERRA MURPHY, Boreenmanna Road, Cork.
