Madam, - Thomas J Kinsella (June 21st) can take some consolation from the fact that the postal service to Greystones mirrors that from Greystones. A letter posted to me from Bray (some five miles distant) was delivered to Greystones seven days later, while a postcard posted in New York was delivered in four days. Because of the unreliability of the service I now send urgent letters by Swiftpost (at extra cost to me) to ensure delivery on time. - Yours, etc.,
MARGARET O'CALLAGHAN, Heathervue, Greystones, Co Wicklow.
