Sir, – Our friends from California, plus two children (11 and six years old), spent a week in Dublin recently. They did the usual things, including seeing the Book of Kells, The Dead Man in the National Museum, the dead animals in The National History Museum; Christ Church and its vaults. They had a great time. The best things however were, Merrion Square and Palmerston Park, where the children played, met other kids, and joined a gang. “Bliss”, said the parents. Congratulations to Dublin city parks! – Yours, etc,
JEAN FitzGERALD,
