Sir, - Some time ago Kevin Myers referred to the number of Fine Gael leaders with Anglo-Norman names. I subsequently drew attention to the fact that the last three Fine Gael leaders (FitzGerald, Dukes and Bruton) had names shared with London streets. If this sequence continues, Jim Mitchell might start planning what to do with his party leader's allowance, since London commemorates neither Noonans nor Kennys but contains half-a-dozen streets bearing the name Mitchell. However, if Nora Owen should enter the race, she might be pleased to know that there are eight Owen streets in London, including Owen's Way! - Yours, etc.,
