Madam, - When it was first announced that the Government had brought Farmleigh for €29.2 million, you printed a letter from me to say that at that high price I thought the name should be changed to Áras An Rookedahern.
But now, having seen the gardens the other day in all their summer glory, particularly the lofty sequoia trees, and been impressed with the excellent OPW management of the Dublin mansion and estate, I want to admit I realise that the price bears no relationship to Farmleigh's splendour. - Yours, etc.,
ARTHUR REYNOLDS, Blackrock, Co Dublin.
