Sir, - As one of the 100-plus members of Our Lady's Choral Society who, with our soloists, received a standing ovation after all four performances under our conductor Proinnsias O Duinn at the National Concert Hall last week, I can confirm that the Messiah is alive and well and living in Dublin. Frank McNamara, eat your heart out; sanity prevails! - Yours, etc.,
Carmel Kelly, Ard na Mara, Malahide, Co Dublin.
