Sir, How can I take any of Fintan O'Toole's hatchet job on Michael Flatley (July 9th) seriously, when he is deficient in knowledge that is basic with every child over the age of eight in this country?
Mr O'Toole states that the drowning tragedy at Annaghdown, commemorated in Raftery's famous poem, took place "off the Connemara coast". This tragedy took place on the inland waterway of Lough Corrib; quite a remove from the coastline of Connemara. - Yours, etc.,
Glenageary,
Co Dublin.
