Sir, - I have just returned from a day trip to Limerick. Within five minutes of my arrival in the city centre, two wild dogs ran by me and a drunken gentleman shouting obscenities into a butcher's shop collapsed, shattering the shop's window. I was impressed by the improvement since the last time I was there. - Yours, etc., Adrian Weckler,
Claremont Court, Glasnevin, Dublin 11.
