Cafe confusion

James Joyce fan Tim Jerram got in touch with Eye after reading ‘The battle for Bewley’s’ (20 February).

‘I’m delighted to see you mention this campaign and the Harry Clarke windows (which were described at the Youghal Historical Society’s conference on Quakers in Ireland last autumn). However, I have to point out that James Joyce left Ireland, never to return, in 1912 so could not have visited Ernest Bewley’s Grafton Street premises.’
