Madam, - Much as I admire and enjoy Kevin Myers's sabre-like wit and humour, I can just about forgive him for his critical comments on my well loved Lyric FM. A veil of darkness was lifted from this country by the sublime range of classical music from this station.
We music lovers are tolerant people and can make room for the occasional input of popular culture. Pavarotti became a household name because of the 1990 World Cup.
Quality control in Lyric may have a philosophy of catering for inclusive tastes, so carry on, Lyric, and throw in a few more Ave Marias. The country hath need of them. - Yours, etc.,
CATHLEEN BENSON, Dublin Road, Naas, Co Kildare.
Madam, - I don't always agree with Mr Kevin Myers, but I must say he produced a fine spiel about Lyric FM which had me laughing out loud, and with which I thoroughly agreed! - Yours, etc.,
VERA LENNON, Leopardstown Lawn, Blackrock, Co Dublin.
