Sir, - Regarding the controversy (August 23rd) over the choice of emblem for the new Northern Ireland identity card and driving licence, might I suggest a solution? The emblem should be a shamrock held by the Red Hand of Ulster.
Ideally, the hand would be attached to a leprechaun who would be wearing a crown, while sitting on the fence, with a foot in each camp and his head buried in the sand. Quite simple, really. - Yours, etc.,
Sorrento Road, Dalkey, Co Dublin.
