Sir, - Further to Liam O'Meara's letter (April 1st), both he and your readers will be interested to know that the windmills in Skerries, together with the adjacent water mill, are currently at an advanced stage of restoration under a FAS scheme in association with Fingal County Council and Skerries Community Development Association. The restored mills will form the basis of a heritage centre which is expected to be open to the public later this year.
As one who has watched this work progress over the last number of years, I have to say that all those involved in the project are to be congratulated for their foresight. - Yours, etc.,
John Gillen,
Downside Park, Skerries, Co Dublin.
