Sir, – Sheila Deegan tells us that a “four bedroom, four bathroom detached house in a lovely rural village in Co Sligo was bought for ¤185,000 recently” (Letters, May 25th).
What use would that house be to a young garda based in Pearse Street, or to a young nurse based in St James’s Hospital? We need them in “our overcrowded city, rather than in a peaceful village”.
The price of that house in Co Sligo contributes nothing to addressing the problem of housing in Dublin. – Yours, etc,
ROSARY COX,
