Sir, - While reading The Irish Times yesterday I was heartened to see the beginnings of a return to the Property supplement of a more affluent time, with articles on "fixer-uppers" and several sales of €1m plus in desirable Dublin suburbs.
However, I was somewhat deflated when I noticed the date on the front of the supplement - November 8th, 2013.
It is impressive that The Irish Times has been able to forecast so far into the future, however it is a pity that we shall have to wait at least another year for a return to those days . . . - Yours, etc,
