PROPERTY VALUES

DES SMITH,

DES SMITH,

Madam, - Your property supplement of October 24th, reporting on a current mews development in Dublin 4, attributes to the selling agent the crass observation that a key selling point was the absence of social/affordable housing.

How comforting. May we be further assured that there will be ne'er a halting site for miles around? - Yours, etc.,

DES SMITH, Ballymacahara, Co Wicklow.
