OLIVER McGRANE,

OLIVER McGRANE,

Madam, - That tapered monument in O'Connell Street: why not call it the "Prod"? On one level, a good-natured poke at/celebration of/welcome for our Northern neighbours; on another, a stimulus to national action; and (as an acronym) a Permanent Repository of Dreams. - Yours, etc.,

OLIVER McGRANE, Marley Avenue, Rathfarnham, Dublin 16.
