ALAN J. COOK,
Sir, - Hugh Oram (An Irishman's Diary, July 20th) quoted the Evening Mail's nationalist compositor who had Queen Victoria "pissing" over O'Connell Bridge. His liberated son must have worked for the Evening Herald, which during the 1951 census, proclaimed the "biggest census of copulation ever undertaken by the State". - Yours, etc.,
ALAN J. COOK, Dunkathel House, Glanmire, Co Cork.
