Madam, - Like Gerald Morgan (October 7th) I agree with Brian Murphy (October 6th) that a new pillar in O'Connell Street would be preferable to the Spire. Mr Morgan asks: "But would it be too radical to suggest that we put a famous Irishman on the top of it?". Is it beyond the Pale to suggest a pillar somewhere in our capital city celebrating a famous Irishwoman or two? - Yours, etc,

Madam, - I agree that a new pillar in O'Connell Street should have a famous Irishman on the top of it. Might I suggest Bono? And I don't mean a statue. - Yours, etc,
