Sir, – Your comments concerning Cultural Odyssey are inaccurate and carelessly researched (“The State and the arts: A healthy intersection”, John Fanning, Opinion, September 3rd). The project is in fact progressing very well, which your journalist would have discovered had he picked up the phone. This is a fine example of misinformed lazy journalism working against the national agenda and I wish to congratulate you on living up to the consistently low standards of your profession. – Yours, etc,
