Sir, – It’s been almost a week since the snowfall around south Dublin, and still the footpaths (and any cycle lanes not at road level) are covered in treacherous ice.
Is there a particular reason pedestrians have been ignored by the gritters and salters?
The irony is that walking and skating to my children’s creche is still quicker than sitting in the adjacent traffic jam. – Yours, etc,
