Sir, – Do people in Ireland fancy themselves to be cat burglars? As a pedestrian, cyclist, motorist and emergency medicine specialist, I am amazed at our predilection for wearing black clothing in a country that is in darkness for much of the 24-hour day. In the interest of mutual preservation, if out in the dark please wear something readily visible. – Yours, etc,
Dr PEADAR GILLIGAN,
