Sir, - All the congratulations in the world to Ardagh, population 80, for winning this year's Tidy Towns contest. However, I, have always thought that if Bord Failte really wanted to see the country cleaned up, it should mount a competitions for the untidy town of the year.
if it did, no one would want to win and everyone would go about what was needed to be last. As a result, in one fell swoop, this lovely island would be neater, cleaner and sweeter than it has ever been, with every town up and down the country, large and small, glistening majestically in the Irish sun, when it occasionally appears. - Yours, etc.,
Albert Road,
Sandycove
