Madam, - I see on buses throughout Dublin city centre that the St Stephen's Green shopping centre is inviting customers to come and meet "the real Santa".
I call this claim to have "the real Santa" an outright lie and I defy the shopping centre to produce a scrap of evidence to support this calculated falsehood. The real Santa - a saint of God, lest we forget - would not lower himself. - Yours, etc.,
FINTAN O'HIGGINS, Pimlico, Dublin 8.
