Fade to black in Temple Bar

Madam, – I read with interest how Temple Bar is to broaden its appeal (Home News, June 15th)

Madam, – I read with interest how Temple Bar is to broaden its appeal (Home News, June 15th). For the past few summers movies have been shown for free in Meeting House Square on a Saturday night. These will not be returning for 2009. According to the office in Temple Bar, a previous sponsor did not renew sponsorship and no new sponsor was found.

This is a loss to the area and to the “culture of the night” as referred to by Dermot McLaughlin, chief executive, Temple Bar Trust.

Perhaps his efforts would be better spent maintaining the current level of events rather than carting in green grass from far away hills? – Yours, etc,
