Madam, - I agree entirely with Dr Orla O'Donoghue's letter of December 18th on Airfield House. Whom could the two Overend sisters have had in mind when donating their beautiful home and grounds to the people of Dublin? Those of us who live locally and enjoy the bliss and quiet of the grounds? Or could it have been those who live in the inner city, or West Dublin, and bring their children on day trips? Or those from the many schools, whose pupils could learn a little of what rural life was like in Dundrum 40 to 50 years ago?
But surely not the developers who are quickly gobbling up our once beautiful Dublin mountains, as well as tracts of land around Sandyford village, Stepaside village, and elsewhere. - Yours, etc.,
MAURA FOGARTY, Sandyford Road, Dublin 16.
