Sir, – Michael Harding’s gentle homage to my hometown (“Bundoran is the place I go to encounter the ghosts of the past”, Life, June 21st) evokes an alliterative phrase frequently used by a Belfast friend who visits the resort regularly: “Beautiful bracing Bundoran by the sea banishes the blues”. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Like Michael Harding, I have fond memories of Bundoran. As a child I was kicked by one of the donkeys on the beach despite being warned by my father not to stand behind it. When I was principal of St Joseph’s Grammar School, Donaghmore, a past pupil told me of end-of-term train trips from the school to Bundoran during the second World War. The girls affectionately called it the Sugar Train as they smuggled bags of sugar in their tunics back to the rationed North. – Yours, etc,
