O'Dea recieves more flak

I congratulate Brian Robinson's on his recent criticism of Pat. O'Dea's (or O'Shafez') review of the Chieftain's concert. To add further insult to injury, I feel compelled to add a couple of points to put your reporter on the right tracks.

Firstly, as Mr Robinson noted, "bodhran" was incorrectly pronounced in O'Dea's article—its correct phonetic prounounciation is "bode-run". Secondly, the song-title "Mna na h'Eireann" cannot be compressed to "Mna h' Eireann" no matter what part of Ireland you come from.

Which leads me to suggest that the blundering Mr O'Dea return to the land of his ancestors, catch up on the Gael teach and, in so doing, get his Erse into gear.
