Sir, - How weird and mysterious are the workings of the RTE newsroom. On Saturday, August 15th, one of the blackest days in the history of this country, some bright spark made the decision to continue with the usual light entertainment programmes.
Sky News ran live coverage. The national station, a 100-odd miles away, treated us to Xena, Warrior Princess and The Wrath of Khan. Dear, dear ... holiday time again. - Yours, etc., Vivienne Flanagan,
Butterfield Avenue, Dublin 14.
