Sir, - With the recent closures of the Meath, Adelaide and Harcourt Street hospitals, surely this is an opportunity to consider if one of these buildings can be used as a hostel for the homeless? The facilities are well suited to the purpose and before these buildings are sold off for redevelopment we should consider our obligation to provide decent shelter for all of our citizens. - Yours, etc., Noreen Cooney,
Sandford Road,
Dublin 6.
