Sir, - Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown Chamber of Commerce is one of the largest Chambers of Commerce in the Country, representing 550 Companies and employing 65,000 people. Yet, there is widespread anger in Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown because no member of the Dun Laoghaire/ Rathdown Chamber of Commerce, has been appointed to the new Harbour Board.
Regrettably, the new Harbour Board, and indeed other boards, are being packed with political lackeys who have no contribution to make to the boards to which they are appointed.
It is high time that this political jobbery was stopped, once and for all. I will keep pressing for a member of the Dun Laoghaire/ Rathdown Chamber of Commerce to be appointed to the Harbour Board. It will be essential for the proper development of the Harbour that their views are taken on board. The yacht clubs are also hopping mad, as no one from the clubs was nominated and they are the major users of the harbour. - Yours, etc.,
(Councillor)
Westminster Road,
Dublin 18.
