Historical sites must be preserved

Having read your article on the proposed ruining - let's face it, that is what it is - of the Ring of Tara, and roughly gauging the opinion of the Irish people on this subject, I couldn't help but think that Daily Ireland would benefit enormously by giving the campaign its full backing.

As you will know, many Irish people North and South feel very strongly about our historical sites and how they should be preserved.

I have long since had my fill of the so-called Irish government and can sympathise 100 per cent with those campaigning against this development. It is my opinion that, if Daily Ireland backed this campaign and especially if it was to be a success, not only would you increase the paper's circulation tenfold and more, you would also gain the respect the paper deserves and from a far wider audience than at present.

Daily Ireland is an Irish newspaper and I feel that issues don't get any more Irish than this one.
