GERARD LEE, St Agnes Park, Crumlin, Dublin 12.

Madam, - I'm obliged to carry a pooper-scooper when talking my dog for his walk. However, our four-legged friends in the Garda Mounted Unit who patrol Grafton Street and other main thoroughfares are allowed to leave very large clues concerning their presence. No pooper-scoopers or on-the-spot fine for them. Is this another example of this Government's preferential treatment of horses? - Yours, etc.,
