John A Murphy has a letter in today's Irish Times Letter which the reader is given the correct spelling and meaning of the spot where Michael Collins was killed. In another letter on the same page Rónán Collins MD writes that Senator Twomey’s letter of disapproval is backward and parochial. Both letters appear under the heading, ‘Address at Collins Commemoration’.
Rónán Collins gives as his address, Thorncliffe Park, Rathgar, Dublin 14. You can’t be in Rathgar and Dublin 14 at the same time.
John A Murphy points out that the mBláth distortion is ‘misplaced pedantry’.
While it might be misplaced, it certainly is not pedantic to include Rathgar in a Dublin 14 address. It is incorrect but tells an important social story
