Madam, - It is a disgrace that funding has been blocked for the construction of the Cork School of Music and the Cork Airport Terminal. These two projects are critical for the success of the Cork World City of Culture 2005 and have been planned for some considerable time. They have also been the subjects of political promise and the promises must now be honoured.
To be ready in time, these two projects must start immediately.
If they are not ready, all the Cork city and county TDs, senators and councillors of the Government parties will have good reason to dread the next election as Cork voters have long memories. - Yours, etc.,
NOEL J. COLLINS, Firgrove Lawn, Bishopstown, Cork.
