JOHN F. CREBBIN,
Sir, - Visitors should be enlightened (June 20th). The objects resembling cable ties are indeed part of folklore. They are in fact indestructible prayer flags. They are attached in prominent positions when the time seems propitious. Successful intercession by the electorate ensures that the sponsoring politician is raised to Nirvana in Kildare Street. - Yours, etc.,
JOHN F. CREBBIN, Eaten Brae, Shankill, Co Dublin.
