Sir, - Your report "Wicklow Council clears way for golf club at Bray Head" (The Irish Times, July 13th) attributes to Ms Liz McManus the statement that she was not willing to transfer the (planning) decision to Bord Pleanala because: "I have no faith in Bord Pleanala. They have no accountability to a Minister or to the Houses of the Oireachtas."
It is precisely because An Bord Pleanala is independent of political influence and political entanglements that one should have the utmost faith and confidence in it. - Yours, etc.,
Liam Madden, Architect, Convent Road, Longford.
