Madam, - The last time I wrote to you, some months ago, about a matter of local concern (the revamped N11 road), you chose not to publish, but did give space to views on the subject held by a reader in Finland! Since then, I have read several more contributions from this reader, Mr Niall O'Donoghue of Narva, most recently on Saturday last, regarding the future of Bewley's Cafés.

I have no desire to stifle his voice, but surely those of us who actually live on this sceptic isle deserve primacy of access to your letters page. Mr O'Donoghue's contributions would be better accommodated in a column of his own: "Pie in the Scandinavian sky".

Regards, and all the rest. - Yours, etc.,

GEORGE HAMILTON,
