Madam, - Jonathan Irwin asks (July 25th) if anyone can identify any project of international or national importance funded by the National Lottery. The redevelopment of Croke Park received significant funding from the National Lottery; and if one is to judge these things by the hyperbolic nonsense written and spoken about a few matches at this ground over the past six months, "international or national importance" hardly begins to describe it. - Yours, etc,
MARTIN RYAN,
