Sir, – The ornate and detailed 4.5m high, triple plot headstone in Sligo Cemetery is a surprise to everyone? One day it isn’t there, and the next it is suddenly erected, finished and looking polished (“‘A surprise to everybody’: Family denies organising 4.5m-high memorial in Sligo Cemetery,” Ireland, November 3rd).

We should find these builders and ask them to finish the children’s hospital for us. Completing that would also be a surprise to everyone. – Yours, etc,

JAMES O’SULLIVAN,

Milltown Road,

Dublin 6.
