Sir, - After all the years we've waited for the glorious moment when the Irish Formula One team of Eddie Jordan would win, we were deprived of hearing our national anthem at the presentation ceremony. The ITV commentator said it was because the constructors were "British" and the RTE commentator said it was because the organisers "didn't have it". Whatever the reason, both answers are absolutely too accepting and run a close second to a George Hamilton prediction. - Yours, etc., Robert O'Sullivan,
Hospital Road, Bantry, Co Cork.
