Madam, - Day by day, filling stations are disappearing from the streets of Dublin. An entire cul-de-sac of suburban dwellings is being demolished in Cabinteely, along with two profitable hotels in Ballsbridge. At the same time our two main banks, already awash with profits, are cashing in their property portfolios.
So what is this all about? An overheated property market driven by speculators and "developers", or just the unbridled greed of the Irish? - Yours, etc,
DERMOTT BARRETT, Clyde Road, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.
