We study some properties which imply weak normal structure and thus the fixed point property. We investigate whether the latter two properties are inherited by spaces obtained by direct sum with a finite dimensional space. We exhibit a space X which satisfies Opial's condition, X ⊕ ℝ does not have weak normal structure but X ⊕ ℝ has the fixed point property.
