Sir, - I write to you to voice my incredible disappointment at RTE's coverage of the turn of the century on New Year's Eve. After spending much of the day watching New Year celebrations around the world, including my native Australia, I was looking forward to viewing the celebrations with my family in "Europe's Capital", Dublin.
Instead I was, in RTE's wisdom, "entertained" not only in 1999 but also in the year 2000 by Joe Dolan performing in a sweatdrenched shirt, belting out cover version songs of modern-day rock bands to a room full of arm-waving "old ones" drinking free Moet champagne. - Yours, etc.,
Robert Tyler, Rockford Park, Blackrock, Co Dublin.
