Sir, - Kevin Myers's piece (An Irishman's Diary, October 8th) about the selling of Drimcong House neglects one very important factor. A price tag of over £800,000 is quite likely to limit the number of possible buyers - not the fact that we in the west all aspire to living in the "bungalowblitz" type dwellings that blot the landscape. - Yours, etc.,
