What should we read into the Government’s failure to deliver a booklet?

Is it really ready to tell people how to be ready?

Sir, – I have still not received the Government’s Be Emergency Ready booklet, which was formally launched in August. The Government’s apparent inability to successfully deliver a booklet to all households in the State does not bode well for what their response to a national emergency might look like if and when it comes. – Yours, etc,

GARY DOYLE,

Straffan,
