Sir, - So the great Irish soap is coming to the end of its natural life. It had long since removed itself from the ideas of one of its creators, viz; "people who value material wealth only as the basis of right living": and: "the home of a people living the life that God desires men should live."
Now the tousled, grey-haired leading man soldiers on without his wife. A former head of the family has been written out and is not spoken of in polite company. The supporting cast of independent, rustic characters deliver their lines without conviction. The plots become increasingly implausible and never seen to come to a satisfactory conclusion. Is it any wonder that the Irish public seen to prefer the standards of the British equivalent?
Anyway, enough of the Dail - is it true that Glenroe is coming off? - Yours, etc.
