A chara, – I was surprised to read that there is a garda in Donegal who could not visit a house that had been burgled because it was a mile from his barracks, and he did not have a patrol car (Home News, July 4th).
I am 79, and can walk a mile in 20 minutes, and cycle it in seven. Indeed I have a friend who is 87, and he can do the same thing. – Yours, etc,
