Madam, - Does one have to be told by Paul McGrath, writing in the sports pages of The Irish Times last Saturday, that he "wanted to get out of the shithole" his life was in? Does your newspaper have to stoop to the mentality of the tabloids or the typical English soccer yobbo?
I am sure that, like myself, the majority of your readers would settle for the word hole. - Yours, etc.,
J.R.PLANT, Wellington Bridge, Co Wexford.
