Sir, - The letter from Liam Kenny (April 19th) underlines the importance of the centenary of the county councils on April 22nd. In recognition of the significance of this milestone in the development of Irish society, this year's Byrne/ Perry Summer School (Gorey, June 25th-27th) will include a lecture on local authorities to be delivered at 9.30 a.m. on Saturday, June 26th by Dr Pauric Travers, Dean of the Joint Faculties of Humanities at DCU, with Liam Kenny himself taking the chair. Full copies of the summer school programme are available from the Tourist Office, Main Street, Gorey, Co Wexford (tel 055/ 21248), or from myself. - Yours, etc.,
Rev Walter Forde, Chairman, Byrne/Perry Summer School, The Presbytery, Castlebridge, Wexford.
