Sir, - I agree with Oliver Gintys (April 4th) that the joy of walking in Phoenix Park is now "free of eyesore clumps of parked cars". However, Mr Ginty may not have noticed the signs at the park gates stating that the Department of Agriculture does not want him or anyone else visiting the park until further notice - not that there is any realistic risk of Dublin pedestrians infecting the deer herd with the virus. - Yours, etc.,
Paul Regan, St Mary's Hospital, Phoenix Park, Dublin 20.
