O'CONNELL ST MONUMENT

CHRISTINA O'NOLAN,

CHRISTINA O'NOLAN,

Sir, - The monument being erected in O'Connell Street is not necessarily "a pagan symbol" (May 11th).

The Monument of Light, to give it its official title, is to mark the second millennium of the common era. Or, for Christians, the birth of Christ, "the Light of the World".

P.D. Doyle (May 20th) is right to anticipate "a thing of great beauty", a quality of which we can never have a surfeit!
