Sir, - I refer to the page 3 advertisement from the Spencer Dock Company (The Irish Times, December 22nd).
Your readers may wish to know that the aerial photo shown actually featured less than half of the development site. This neatly excluded the little terraces of houses at Mayor Street, Abercorn Road, and of course the entire East Wall community, all of which border the site.
For the Spencer Dock developers, it seems, the local people simply don't exist.
Indeed, if their planning application gets the go-ahead from An Bord Pleanala, then only the occupants of the proposed 24-storey tower blocks will share the views and amenities referred to in the advertisement - and the docklands communities will require a very vivid "imagination" since even the sunlight will be obscured from them. - Yours, etc.,
Tony Gregory TD, Dail Eireann, Baile Atha Cliath 2.
