Sir, – As a resident of Tralee, I look forward to The Irish Times of the weekend after the Rose festival because I enjoy the reviews and your journalists' efforts to distance themselves from an event which obviously isn't high brow enough for frequenters of drinks receptions in Dublin. Predictably, this year your writers did not disappoint.
If your journalists who stay in the safety of southside Dublin have nothing good to say about the Rose of Tralee, send them down to us for re-education next year! We won’t tell their friends. – Yours, etc,
PATRICK DALY,
