Sir, - The fact that Ireland has some of the dirtiest streets in the EU may in part be due to our high consumption of sweets and confectionery that are invariably packaged in an assortment of throw-away wrappers.
Surely the manufacturers should be levied by the authorities and thus be forced to contribute to the clean-up of our streets. - Yours, etc., Des Tooher,
Clonskeagh, Dublin 14.
