Coffee to go

Sir, – Mark Woodcock should not be surprised at a second Starbucks opening close to an existing one in Blackrock village (February 10th).

If Leopold Bloom were to look around Dublin today he would surely find a new challenge: “Good puzzle would be to cross Dublin without passing a Starbucks”. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Perhaps Mark Woodcock should welcome all the single lattés Starbucks would bring to Monkstown. – Yours, etc,
