Frederick Galea (October 31) quite rightly highlights the shameful plight of one of our national monuments, Fort St Elmo.

I wonder whether a relatively simple solution would be to utilise the funds earmarked for the hare-brained scheme cooked up by the St John's Foundation, as well as any available grants from the EU to restore the fort. St Elmo can then be opened to the public as a museum, displaying the artefacts the St John's Foundation are planning to desecrate the Knights' burial chamber to put on show.
