How about a statue of Lord Haw-Haw?

Dear Editor,

Since it appears that the city fathers (and mothers) are hell bent on replacing the statue of Padraic O Conaire at Eyre Square with people of doubtful past and tenuous connections with Galway, might I suggest a statue to William Joyce AKA Lord Haw-Haw, who spent his youth here and is buried in the New Cemetery. In this way, we might alienate the British tourists as well as the Americans.

Yours etc.
