Sir, – Standing beside Marjorie Fitzgibbon’s beautiful bust of James Joyce in St Stephen’s Green in Dublin, one wonders what the writer is looking at.
Certainly not his alma mater at Newman House. A large hedge blocks a wonderful view of his old college directly opposite. Can I ask the governors of the park to cut a large hole in the hedge so that we and the writer can look across the road at this formative university? It may bring a tear to his eye. While they are at it, they might set a light underneath the statue for night-time viewing from outside the railings. – Yours, etc,
COLM QUILLIGAN,
Dublin Literary
