Madam, - The Irish Ferries affair will, I hope, open people's eyes to the reality behind this so-called "boom".
Over the past few years thousands of Irish construction workers have been ousted from their jobs to make way for cheap foreign labour. Can one wonder that resentment is strong among that section of the workforce?
The unions have been silent. I wonder why! Thatcherism reigns. - Yours, etc,
