Madam, – I read with interest your obituary of the late Paul Getty III (February 12th). During a most informative piece you make reference to the loan to Punchestown.
The use of language gives the impression that there are ongoing legal difficulties with this loan. That happily is not the case. During my time as chairman of the Kildare Hunt Club, the hunt, following the intensive work of a small committee, re-established itself as the full owners of Punchestown racecourse and now operates a cordial and productive working partnership with Horse Racing Ireland in the management of this unique facility. – Yours, etc,
