Madam, – While driving through Cork city precincts recently I was appalled by the overgrown roadsides and dandelion-infested roundabouts. No doubt a shortage of resources is the reason, but it should not be beyond the wit of the powers-that-be to put some of our (unfortunately) thousands of unemployed to work on community schemes.
Surely able-bodied people should expect nothing for nothing in these difficult times. – Yours, etc,
