Sir, – Michael Parsons very kindly mentions my work on the Irish Tourist Association Topographical and General Survey for Enniskerry, Co Wicklow ("A river runs through it", Property, July 17th).
These under-used reports provide lots of detail about localities all over Ireland in the 1940s and are available in county libraries. Sadly those for Wicklow localities are no longer accessible as Wicklow County Council has closed off access to their local studies section indefinitely since July 1st, because of the moratorium on employment in the public sector. – Yours, etc,
Dr MICHAEL SEERY,
