Sir, - With regard to the recent letter from the German visitors: it is a myth that this country is a clean, green place. Nothing will ever be done about the chronic pollution until those with the power to stop it, stop being bullied by the vested interests who cause most of the problem.
This is more so on the local scene, where when any officer or citizen tries to say or do something, they are often "spoken" to.
Yours, etc.,
Tinahely, Co Wicklow.
