Sir, - D. K. Henderson (August 20th), would like to know the Irish for Cloud-Cuckoo Land. The English, of course, is merely a translation from the Greek, Nephelokokkygia (Aristophanes). There are too many Irish equivalents - and their characteristics too rich - to describe here, but perhaps D. K. Henderson will be happy for the moment with Magh Meall, Tir na Tairngre, Flaithinis ... - Is me agat, go buioch beannachtach,
