Sir, - I think I have a solution to the torment of Sean Mac Mathuna, who feels discommoded (October 7th) by the variation in times of the news in Irish on RTE, and the brevity thereof. On scanning Mr MacMathuna's excellently worded and grammatically almost perfect letter, I have come to the conclusion that his command of English is such that he should experience no difficulty at all in following the rather more detailed news in English at 9 o'clock. All he requires is a modicum of self confidence. - Yours, etc.,
Clontarf,
Dublin 3.
