Sir, - Let me take this opportunity to congratulate the Minister for Arts, Culture and the Gaeltacht, Mr Michael D. Higgins, TD for his publication of the RPS Cairns Report Wicklow Mountains National Park Study.

As an observer of the Luggala controversy, which culminated in this publication, I can only deprecate the tactics employed by the Commissioners of the Office of Public Works to achieve their aims without due regard for the community. It also saddens me that in a country as small as ours, individuals must risk financial ruin in order to seek constitutional refuge from bureaucratic arrogance. - Yours, etc.,

Roundwood,

Co Wicklow.
