Sir, – In response to Siobhan Walls's letter (October 10th) concerning the competition for naming of the newest Irish Ferries vessel, my own suggestion to the company was "Maeve", which I thought would encompass both a historical figure in the person of the queen of Connacht and the late beloved Maeve Binchy.
Alas, I gather I did not win! – Yours, etc,
