I WISH to make a few points in relation to the opening by the ESB of the Inniscarra dam on Friday, November 20, and the subsequent flooding of Cork city.

I READ with interest Caroline O’Doherty’s feature piece (August 20) on the award to a British state agency of the contract to survey Louth and Dublin for possible exposure to sea-based anthropogenic radiation.

YOUR front page photograph (Nov 27) showed a house festooned with Christmas lights.

THIS is a house with a bit of a dual identity — Springville on the brochure, but known as Springfort to its owners and those in the locality.

SPRINGFORT House at Kanturk, Co Cork, and its adjoining 30 acres have come on the market with a guide price of €1.54 million.

HIGH up over Cork city, Montenotte has always been the right spot for a des res, but building had been sparse in the city suburb for over 100 years.

I CHALLENGE Dr Aisling Campbell (Irish Examiner letters, February 21) to point out to me the inaccuracies I wrote about (‘Its time to give the mentally ill their dignity,’ Irish Examiner, February 7).

WHAT a cruel word. People who suffer from mental illness do not commit suicide - they die from their illness.
