Madam, - In The Irish Times Magazine of January 7th, Gerry Mullins presented travel "hot spots" for 2006. I was very pleased to see Salzburg featured prominently. However, referring to the celebration of Mozart's birthday there, the author has made good old Wolfgang Amadeus exactly 100 years younger - for it is not his 150th but his 250th birthday which we are marking in Austria - and in Ireland as well. Readers interested in further details may check the website www.mozart2006.ie. - Yours, etc,
PETER MIKL, Austrian Embassy, Dublin 4.
