Madam, - Talk about strong government! The IFA is now treading its gum boots all over the Minister for Agriculture and the Minister for the Environment in the matter of its opposition to the nitrates directive (The Irish Times, February 21st).
Meanwhile, the combined size-12s of the GRA and the AGSI seem set to see plans for the Garda Reserve Force placed high up there on the shelf together with the Minister for Justice's last big idea - café bars.
Can anyone tell who is actually running the asylum? - Yours, etc,
ARTHUR DUNNE, Blackrock, Co Dublin.
