Madam, - I read and re-read the report that Dublin's main thoroughfare is to get a library, courtesy of our very own City Council (The Irish Times, September 1st).
It is hard to believe, that the Ambassador Cinema, originally the Round Room, will not become another fast-food outlet, gaming arcade, night club or British chain-store outlet. It will host a real, live library.
Let the city of Beckett, Joyce, Wilde, Yeats, O'Casey, Gogarty, Russell and Behan rejoice. All is not yet lost. Somewhere there is still a candle flickering in the dark. - Yours, etc,
JAMES CREANE,
