Madam, - The proposal to designate Grafton Street as an Architectural Conservation Area is like shutting the stable door when the horse has bolted (The Irish Times, January 27th).
Last year a friend from Scotland expressed a wish to visit Grafton Street for the first time in many years. For me, seeing the street through a visitor's eyes was a complete embarrassment. For her, it was a great disappointment.
In future we will confine our sightseeing to the many places in and around Dublin that we can be proud of. - Yours, etc,
MARY OVEREND,
