Madam, - Upon reading Flann O'Riain's letter regarding the
pronunciation of Portlaoise (May 23rd), I was reminded of a
visiting American friend who described his drive from Limerick to
Dublin being punctuated by "a very pleasant stop in a pub in Port
Lousy". He meant nothing by it, I'm sure. - Yours, etc,
COLMAN Ó MURCHÚ,
