LUAS BRIDGE IN DUNDRUM

JOHN FLEETWOOD Snr,

JOHN FLEETWOOD Snr,

Sir, - Your edition of July 20th carries impressive photographs of the bridge being constructed to carry the Luas over the Dundrum crossroads. A couple of miles to the south-east of this site, important archaeological remains are due to be destroyed by the completion of the M50.

A similar situation arose some years ago near Welwyn Garden City in England. The competing interests of retention and development were solved by bringing the road over the site. Has this solution been considered by those responsible for destroying/preserving the site in south Co Dublin? - Yours, etc.,

JOHN FLEETWOOD Snr, Proby Square, Blackrock, Co Dublin.
