ESB’s Georgian facade

Sir, – Deirdre Conroy (Opinion, October 23rd) writes that "as an architectural historian I find fake a farce and replicated Georgian unacceptable". She then goes on to cite the reconstruction of Hume Street to illustrate her point. Surely she should have considered the successful reconstructions which are dotted about the city. Notably that of Bachelors Walk to its original facade. There are many other examples. This surely is an opportunity for the ESB to right a wrong. Rebuild it as it was. – Yours, etc,
