I’ll continue to use my surname with pride

I REFER to the letter by Denis Healy (Irish Examiner, August 11) in relation to the spelling of my name.
I’ll continue to use my surname with pride

In relation to An Leitriú Shimplí as devised by the people mentioned in my original reply to Mr Healy, I can absolutely confirm to him that all letters of the English alphabet were used in this particular form of spelling.

My grandfather, Shán Ó Cuív, adapted this form for his name which was carried on by my father, and which is the name registered as my father’s surname on my birth cert.
