Sale of mountain land an opportunity

Sir, – Keep Ireland Open would refer you to the recent advertisement in the commercial property section of the sale of almost 5,000 acres of land in the Upper Dodder Valley, Co Dublin, above Glenasmole reservoir. Many of your hillwalking readers will be aware of the importance of keeping this area, which stretches from Seahan mountain almost as far as Upper Lough Bray, open for access.

We call on the National Parks and Wildlife Service to acquire this magnificent unspoilt amenity for inclusion in the Wicklow National Park. – Yours, etc,

ROGER GARLAND,

Chairman,
