Nothing else appears to be working. – Yours, etc,

A chara, – I refer to your report (News, August 2nd) that Ireland’s environmental record is among the worst in Europe. This is indeed shameful. Regrettably, agriculture, which is so important to our economy, is the worst offender in greenhouse gas emissions.
Time for action!
Might I suggest that, at least, we restore a separate and dedicated Department of the Environment, as we had previously, and take the problem seriously. – Is mise,
