A chara, - A prominent notice, erected by the contracting body, was displayed for at least 12 months, above the gate to the lawn at Leinster House. It stated that once the work of the renovations to the side of the National Gallery and Leinster House had been carried out the beautiful lawn would be restored to its previous immaculate state. The notice said the work would be done by the summer of 2000.
The renovations are now completed and I do not notice any attempt to dig up the tarmacadam and remove the cars that have vandalised what was an exquisite lawn. Could we be told when this restoration will be carried out? - Mise le meas,
