Sir, - The "I'm all right Jack" mentality of Irish society at the end of the millennium will be truly defined for the generations to come if £3 million is squandered on the "steel needle" in O'Connell Street while Mountjoy Prison re-cycles the destitute, deprived, mentally ill, and homeless of our citizens as highlighted by John Lonegan and Sister Stanislaus on RTE at 6 p.m. on March 25th. - Yours, etc., Sylvia Dawson,
Church Street, Longford.
