Madam, - Your article of November 13th regarding the purchase by the Irish Museum of Modern Art of a trilogy of works by James Coleman was welcome. However, it mistakenly refers to the Council of National Cultural Institutions as a five-member body. In fact there are 10 national cultural institutions represented on the council.
The Chester Beatty Library, the Abbey Theatre, the National Concert Hall, the Heritage Council and the Arts Council were omitted from your report. The current Chairman of the CNCI is the Chester Beatty's Director, Dr Michael Ryan. - Yours, etc.,
NIAMH DEEGAN, Secretary, Council of National Cultural Institutions, Collins Barracks, Dublin 7.
