Sir, - I wonder if President McAleese, now her inauguration is out of the way, will provide us with a little more enlightenment on which version of the shamrock she should wear?
Will she go for a weed-killed version, as in the new and highly expensive representation from a design team? The tried and trusted version that served Bord Failte so well and for so long? Or the skewed-on-its-side monstrosity which now (dis)graces the tails of Aer Lingus planes? - Yours, etc.,
Shrewsbury Park, Dublin 4.
