Madam, - It is good news (Loose Leaves, January 31st) that the work of Eilís Dillon, who died 10 years ago, is to be commemorated by the Irish Society for the Study of Children's Literature. Apart from her creative writing, Eilís Dillon also gave much time and effort to furthering the aims of the Irish Writers' Union, of which for some time she was chairperson. That, too, should be remembered. - Yours, etc.,

ROBERT GREACEN, Tritonville Close, Dublin 4.
