Madam, - I really don't understand David Marlborough's point (February 28th). Is he saying that because the health service is in such a bad state, the Government should refuse to fund recreational facilities?
The facilities mentioned are for skateboarders, but aren't they playgrounds just the same? Should we stop funding everything that isn't directly for health and welfare? If we did, where would be the fun in life? - Yours, etc.,
NOREEN DUFFY, Ashe Road, Shantalla, Galway.
