Sir, – Fintan O’Toole’s “Is Ireland a developed country at all” (Opinion & Analysis, July 16th) is incorrect in stating that Ireland has “excellent motorways” for those who don’t depend on public transport.

Does that really count as excellent or even an alternative to good public transport? – Yours, etc,
OWEN O’LOUGHLIN,
