Sir, – In the absence of agreement on a new name for the Berkeley Library at Trinity College Dublin, could we not just refer to it as the “Library formerly known as the Berkeley Library”? – Yours, etc,

Sir, – To save time and further debate, I suggest that the new name for the TCD library should be “Leabharlann Leabhairín Mac an Aghaidh Leabhair”, roughly translated as “Bookeen McBookface Library’”, with apologies to Boaty McBoatface. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – I suggest “Trinity” as the simplest and least divisive option. Readers need only say, as so many do today, “I’m off to the Library @ Trinity”! – Yours, etc,
PATRICK CALLAN,

Sir, – George Berkeley advanced the theory that, if you stop thinking about things, they cease to exist. I propose, therefore, to give no more thought to all this woke nonsense. Let us hope the great man was correct. – Yours, etc,
