Madam, - In response to B. O'Flynn's letter of May 26th - and the numerous other letters which appear on this page regarding "Expensive Ireland" - I believe that anyone who is prepared to pay E8.20 plus service charge for "some tea leaves and hot water" deserves to be ripped off. Has it ever occurred to such people to stay away from such establishments and make their own tea? - Yours, etc,
RICHARD DELANEY, Leeson Street, Dublin 4.
