Madam, - The Minister for the Environment, Mr Cullen, should resign as he has single-handedly wasted at least €50 million and, until stopped, was about to impose an unwanted, under-tested system with uncertain accuracy and security (notwithstanding high-handed and extravagant claims to the contrary) on the electorate.

Most critically, he has undermined confidence in the capacity of politicians and the administration to maintain a system that goes to the very heart of our democracy.
