Sir, – Unlike your reader who was “pipped by the Pope” and unable to get to visit Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, I was more fortunate. What incredible work was done by builders, carpenters and the many specialised people who worked on its restoration and had it opened to the public within five years.
While I was looking at the magnificent vaulted stone ceiling I thought now that Ireland is hosting the Council of the European Union, perhaps Taoiseach Micheál Martin could ask French president Emmanuel Macron to send us some of those workers to get the Children’s Hospital finished.
Then help to get the A5 motorway built so I hopefully will have a safe road to travel home to Donegal sooner rather than later. – Yours, etc,
