The end of the recession?

Sir, – I am pleased to see that An Taoiseach (Opinion, September 20th) is advising prudence following the announcement by the CSO that the recession was over. His rhetorical question: “Does Ireland need a second house?” resonates. Isn’t that what got us into the economic mess in the first place – second homes! – Yours, etc,
