Sir, – The recent chaos in Midleton, Co Cork, and other locations during the orange rain warning (News, October 19th) suggests that maybe there should be a linkage between these official warnings and Government advice to employers on working from home. For example, in an orange alert, employers should be advised to allow working from home and in a red alert that it be mandatory for all employees who are able to do so. The same principle could be applied to schools. – Yours, etc,
PATRICK O’SULLIVAN,
