Another correspondent, who thinks the Liffey vista is one of Dublin's greatest assets, is indignant with Deputy J.F.X. Murphy because he suggests that the terrors of D'Olier street and its adjoining quayside should be relieved by bridging the river to provide space for a central 'bus station.
Saying that he is very glad that at least one member of the Oireachtas has begun to take some lively interest in the 'bus and general traffic chaos in Dublin, he suggests that Mr Murphy should give his support to the proposal that a central station for long-distance 'bus passengers, and for 'bus traffic from the southern suburbs, should be erected on the now useless site of the old dock beside the Custom House.
He reminds me that this open space, a few years ago was destined to be the site of a central railway station. With things as they are now, I cannot imagine a better use for five or six acres of waste space than its use as a central 'bus depot.
