Greetings, – Does the episode of someone displaying a picture of the Twin Towers in flames (Reported news, 13th May) on the Dublin section of the Dublin-New York live-stream gateway confirm our inability to keep good things intact? Sincerely Yours,
BRIAN AHERN,
Clonsilla,
Dublin 15.
Regarding the recent branding of Michael Flatley’s new whisky, named in honour of his lineage – his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather,
Dear friend, – Residents of New York have caught an overhead glance of the everyday trials we face in Dublin.
I believe the scenes have been captured and transmitted throughout the United States by now.
American citizens can witness and perceive the threatening milieu of Dublin streets prior to planning their yearly vacation.
Yet another problem to be managed by the newly appointed task force last week, formed to handle anti-social activities on the capital’s pathways. Yours truly,
ALAN COOKE,
Temple Bar,
Dublin 2.
Sir, – The crude behaviour exhibited by youngsters at the New York-Dublin portal is disgraceful to our city.
As North Earl Street lies centrally in our city, I wonder where were the police that Justice Minister Helen McEntee claimed were in active patrol on our city’s roads? Yours sincerely,
MARGARET TREANOR,
Sutton,
Dublin 13.
Sir, – Who can justify the necessity for an open portal when similar features can be accessed via your mobile? Could we soon observe a full-scale 35mm camera tethered with a string to the trigger button placed in Phoenix Park for self-photography? Could the Millenium Clock possibly be reinstated in the River Liffey? Yours faithfully,
ULTAN Ó BROIN,
Blackrock,
Co Dublin.
Sir, – The news about Dublin City Council undertaking technical alterations to curb anti-social incidents is indeed gloomy.
If “eyes are considered the gateway to the soul”, then this portal offers a vista to a side of Dublin devoid of any civic etiquette. Yours sincerely,
MIKE MORAN,
Dublin 3.
