Houses for Haiti

HAVING read John O’Shea’s letter (July 31) regarding junior minister Peter Power’s visit to Haiti, a thought crossed my mind.

One of Ireland’s big problems at present is what to do with aptly-named ghost estates. Are these to be left as monuments to a period of greed, graft, corruption and, above all, bad government? I sincerely hope not.

Nobody so far has come up with a solution. Massive demolition would only add to our waste problems.
