Sir, – So now the Department of the Environment don’t want any of these Pandora’s boxes to be sold for charity (Home News, July 3rd) but requires them to be “irreversibly disassembled and put entirely beyond functional use”. We are getting into arms decommissioning rhetoric here! The department should donate a machine to Leinster House, where it should be displayed in full view as an exhibit of governmental arrogance with the public purse strings that should never be repeated. – Yours, etc,
