Sir, I'd like to "thank Kevin Myers for his wonderful piece on Sonia O'Sullivan. It was very good of him not to mention her cold sores which, in fact, are not cold sores at all, but are from a belt in the mouth which she got when doing the Walls of Limerick at a Sean Norman do in Kanturk. Someone threw an old boot. Yours, etc., Radio Telefis Eireann, Baile Atha Cliath 4.
