Sir, – My father was on a business trip in the 1960s, his first visit to the Republic, and had to catch a train to Dublin from a country station. He asked the station master what was the time of the next train, and discovered the Irish overwhelming desire to be helpful when the answer came, “It’s just gone.” – Yours, etc,

Sir, – There was a notice displayed in Tarbert in the early days of the car ferry from there to Killimer announcing that the ferry departed every hour on the hour every day except Sunday, when it operated one hour later. – Yours, etc,
