Sir, - Joy McCormack (February 29th) states, as one of the reasons she opposes planning permission for non-locals in Donegal. "our young cannot afford starter homes".
By analogy, can I assume that if Ms McCormack was from Dublin she would object to planning permission for those outside the Pale? Donegal's youth may face expensive prices for starter homes but, as one of Dublin's young, I can attest to the fact that their counterparts here also face exorbitant prices. - Yours, etc.,
Joe Morton, Howth, Co Dublin.
