Madam, - In response to Mick Mulcahy's prompt criticism (March 15th) of our recently opened exhibition "The West as Metaphor", I would ask that people hold their fire until the second part of this anthology, "The West as Ecology", takes place next year. - Yours, etc.,
PATRICK T. MURPHY, Director, Royal Hibernian Academy, Gallagher Gallery, Ely Place, Dublin 2.
