Sir, - It is difficult to understand the thinking of the Dublin Corporation engineers and roads department. On one hand they ask us to be good citizens of the city and to co-operate with the various new traffic laws. On the other hand they allow three different contractors to dig three different trenches the length of Kildare Street, all at different times.
The result is that there have been continuous excavations of Kildare Street for several months. Surely it is not beyond the ingenuity of Dublin Corporation to plan ahead on an issue like this and to have one trench dug once to take all the services required. What the Corporation has done has created and still creates traffic chaos in this area. Perhaps a Corporation spokesman would like to comment. - Yours, etc.,
R. J. Mitchell,
Kildare Street,
Dublin 2.
