Madam, - The proposal to reduce speed limits (The Irish Times, August 25th) may kill off the last glimmers of life in the housing market. All those houses in counties such as Leitrim, Offaly and Wexford that auctioneers tell us are only 70 minutes from Dublin will in effect become further from the city. Who would buy them? - Yours, etc,
HUGO BRADY BROWN, Stratford on Slaney, Co Wicklow.
