Sir, - The ink had not even dried on the unbelievable plan proposed by Mary O'Rourke before her colleagues, Charlie McCreevy and Bertie Ahern, were expressing their reservations. The £200,000 for the Atkins report has been squandered in a disgraceful fashion.
In five years' time, Dublin's streets will be completely gridlocked and her citizens strangled by excessive levels of noxious emissions, and the latest consultants' reports will be redrafted for the umpteenth time. The 2003 Todd Andrews Award for Services to Public Transport will be (again) awarded to Marys O'Rourke and Harney, David Norris and Garret FitzGerald! - Yours, etc., Peter J. D. Scott,
Blackrock, Co Dublin.
Stillorgan, Co Dublin.
