Madam, - Senator Martin Mansergh (May 3rd) is keen to rebut attacks on Elizabeth Bowen's identity as an Irishwoman. In the light of current controversies, his emphasis on the place of her birth as conclusive of the question is interesting.
No doubt he will be campaigning for a No vote next month. - Yours, etc.,
FERGUS O'ROURKE, Callas Berrings, Co Cork.
