Sir, – On reading that Quills Woollen Market was fined €500 for putting “Made In Ireland” labels on jumpers made in Pakistan, I immediately wondered what penalty/sentence would have been handed down to someone stealing one of the same jumpers (“Kerry retailer attached ‘Made in Ireland’ labels to jumpers made in Pakistan,” May 19th). – Yours, etc,

DONAL HARRINGTON,

Westport,

Co Mayo.
