Sir, – Travelling by coach from Dublin Airport to Cork and caught in a very long tailback on the motorway leaving Dublin, I am observing the hundreds of cars that we crawl past and that pass us very slowly.
I have barely seen a single car that has more than one person in it – the driver. Why is this issue not being adequately addressed? – Yours, etc,
MARTIN KRASA,

Sir, – Now that Tara Mines has closed temporarily, this is the perfect opportunity for Irish Rail to upgrade the rail line from Drogheda to Navan that already exists and is used to transport ore from the mine to Dublin Port.
Irish Rail has previously stated that the line is not up to standard for passenger traffic.
It also has an agenda to complete the line from Enfield rather than upgrade an existing line. – Yours, etc,
TIM SWEETMAN,
