Sir, - Minister Cowan highlights the magnitude of the events in New York when saying that having seen the grief of one family one can only begin to imagine the total tragedy when that is multiplied by 6,000.
Perhaps the Government and people of Ireland will reflect since 1987 we have had an equivalent tragedy with similar numbers of grieving families as a result of our shameful and careless attitudes to road safety.- Yours, etc.,
Peter O'Sullivan, Ennis, Co Clare.
