ANGELUS BELL ON RTE

JAIME HYLAND,

JAIME HYLAND,

Sir, - Whether or not Clodagh Rolfe is quite correct in her assertion that the Annunciation is common to all Christians (September 30th), I appreciate her view that the Angelus serves as a reminder to us all to pray.

As a non-Christian TV licence-holder, however (and the latest indications are that we make up about 34 per cent of the population), I feel she might understand that this reminder is about as welcome to me as an unnecessary alarm bell. Surely post-modern Ireland has enough ringing bells. - Yours, etc.,

JAIME HYLAND, Berlin, Germany.
