Madam, - Watching the Léargas television programme on the Pollatomish landslide, I was very moved by the dignity, attachment to place and patent heartbreak of those affected. While one resident said nothing could compensate them for their loss, it is to be hoped that the Government will not drag its feet but rather respond to the residents' plight in a prompt, practical and generous way. - Yours, etc.,
JOHN QUINN,
