Sir, - So the Arts Council said the "sheer vertical form" of the monument was an appropriate response to the "broad horizontal nature" of O'Connell Street (The Irish Times, December 28th).
Did you ever hear the likes of it? Are you sure about the veracity of this quotations? Perhaps the council was referring to the horizontal broad currently reclining in the Anna Livia fountain. Yes, that must be it. - Yours, etc., Paul Delaney,
