Sir, - The area in front of St Catherine's Church in Thomas Street, Dublin is in a disgraceful condition. It is full of cans, bottles and rubbish and does not appear to have been cleaned since the beginning of summer. Hundreds of visitors on their way to Guinness's Brewery pass here daily on foot or on open-top buses.Local public representatives, officials of Dublin Tourism or Bord Failte should notice this sort of thing. - Yours, etc.,SEOSAMH O BROIN,Tyrconnell Park,Dublin 8.
