Sir, - If Liam O Geibheannaigh (September 9th) is such a devout republican and is insulted by the title of the Royal College of Surgeons, would he then also take offence at being saved from drowning by a member of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution?
Being royal is part of the history of the College of Surgeons and as a republican Mr O Geibheannaingh must surely be aware of how important history can be to institutions and organisations in this country. - Yours, etc.
