Sir, - Now that Ballinacor Estate is being offered for sale, surely this is an ideal opportunity for the State to acquire a unique property in trust for the people of Ireland. It is approximately 4,000 of woodland, mountain and river in one lot - a ready-made national park.This is also the site of the last Gaelic Court in Ireland, and as we have no place which commemorates Gaelic and Brehon traditions, it has major cultural significance. It was here that "An Leabhar Branach" (The Book of the O'Byrnes) was composed by poets and bards who fled there after the fall of the Gaelic order in the rest of Ireland. -Yours, etc.,Edward M. Byrne, Paulville, Tullow, Co Carlow.
