Madam, - Surely all the concerned parties worrying about the future of Lissadell must be overwhelmed with joy at the fact that the new owners are an Irish couple and the house will be used as a family home.
Sir Josslyn Gore-Booth has not sold the house to a developer who might demolish it and do God knows what with the site, but to a family. Lissadell has always been inhabited by a family, so Sligo's Save Lissadell House All-Party Committee and An Taisce can stop crying; Lissadell has been saved. - Yours, etc.,
