Sir, - In her article on Shay Elliott (July 10th), Roisin Ingle states that he killed himself in Dublin in 1971. This was never proven. In fact, all his friends and fellow-cyclists maintain it was an accident either while Shay was cleaning a gun, or the result of a burglary on his premises.
Anyone who would like to know more about this remarkable man should visit the special exhibition of his life and achievements in the Council Chamber of Bray Town Hall which is open every weekday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. - Yours, etc., Kathleen Kinsella,
Hon Secretary, Bray Heritage Centre Comittee,
