Clonliffe land sale

Sir, – If the Catholic Archdiocese of Dublin was able to gain €2 million as a result of a clause in its contract with the GAA that it would receive "a share in the profits made by the GAA if they sold on any of the lands or buildings" (News, November 5th) then surely it could have also inserted a clause to ensure that a significant portion of such lands, if they were sold on, would be used for social housing.

It seems that maximisation of profit has replaced the principles of Catholic social justice in the Archdiocese of Dublin.

– Yours, etc,

BRENDAN BUTLER,
