Giving the green light to the shooting range investment in the vicinity of Mount St Joseph Retreat House, Mosta, while at the same time ignoring its repercussions is, in my opinion, a political move that leaves much to be desired.

We cannot fail to recall that the spiritual dimension inherent in us humans needs to be nurtured and safeguarded. Mount St Joseph fulfils this precise need by offering silence for prayerful reflection in a beautiful natural environment.

The noise generated by the shooting range would certainly hinder drastically the aim of the retreat house. This would surely be a great loss to society.

I sincerely hope that the authorities concerned will choose an alternative locality.
