A tale of two cities

Madam, – Last week my family and I went to Dalkey, Malahide and Howth where we had a wonderful time. The scenery, the shops, the restaurants, the clean streets and beautiful buildings were so well presented and it was just brilliant for a family day-out.

But it seems as though where I live, in Clondalkin, and areas surrounding it, are not subject to the same kind of investment and initiative as these coastal areas of Dublin. Hopefully our local councillors and TDs can do something about this. – Yours, etc,

JOHN DORAN,
