		<description><![CDATA[The Editor,
Letters Page,
The Sunday Business Post.
Dear Editor,
What a pity that Jennifer O’Connell (SPB 18th October) should reduce a reasonably balanced piece about the need for good planning to a typically mean-spirited attack on those living in Council housing.
Thanks to the foresight of my predecessors as Dublin City Councillors my parents had the opportunity to secure [...]<img height="1" width="1" src="http://services.nuconomy.com/i.nsi?methId=log&projTok=2fabd2d2-52&ownus=keith&sver=WordPress%2F1.48+%28nuconomy%29&srcId=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dermotlacey.ie%2Fblog%2F2009%2F10%2Fletter-to-the-editor&crtId=148&dt=1268334700">]]></description>

Lack of [...]<img height="1" width="1" src="http://services.nuconomy.com/i.nsi?methId=log&projTok=2fabd2d2-52&ownus=keith&sver=WordPress%2F1.48+%28nuconomy%29&srcId=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dermotlacey.ie%2Fblog%2F2009%2F10%2Fpolitical-reform-welcome-if-press-release&crtId=148&dt=1268334700">]]></description>
