Sir, – Rosita Boland's account of a visit to the Dublin Writers Museum on Parnell Square (Weekend Review, January 4th) is at odds with my experience of this wonderful cultural establishment. She paints a picture of a quaint museum out of touch with modern practice. Any visitors who have accompanied me to this museum have had their eyes and minds opened to the wonderful heritage of this city's many writers. Its curator is a guide of excellent vision and breadth of knowledge concerning our writers. His store of knowledge on his topic is unrivalled and long may he continue in his post. The fee she mentions is worth every cent and compares favourably with museum prices both on the continent and in the Americas. – Yours, etc,
