Sir, - I couldn't agree more with John Lavin (October 26th), regarding the Eircon (sic) debacle. What a magnificent show of incompetence Mary O'Rourke has shown in the handling of this mess. Although, not to be outdone, the board of Eircon has truly dazzled us with their dithering, messing and inability to steer their company a safe course through the choppy waters of the free market. At least these poor souls have been handsomely rewarded financially for their bungling and giving us all a good laugh.- Yours, etc.,
Jim McDermott, Dame Street, Dublin 2.
