A chara, - Now that the decision has been announced to develop two championship golf courses on Ireland's premier estate at Carton House, Maynooth, Co Kildare, ancestral homes of the Fitzgeralds and the birthplace of Lord Edward Fitzgerald, can I further suggest that the ancient monastery sites at Glendalough and Clonmacnoise be similarly developed to ensure that this country remain the premier location for such sport?
All I hope is that the historic house does not await a similar fate to its majestic parklands. - Is mise,
