Sir, – Michael McDowell’s enthusiasm for retaining the illegal Derrybrien wind farm is as thoughtless as was his support for the behaviour of the then-government in the ineptly handled Corrib gas affair years ago (Opinion & Analysis, August 31st).

A bit of thought and research before sounding off would be helpful. – Yours, etc,
