Sir, - A lot of people want Luas put underground; the DART has forestalled this by voluntarily lowering itself to the depths. "I thought Dunphy was an asshole till they put him on the radio." Thus reads one of the posters in the DART carriages. This is apparently to encourage us to listen to a born-again radio station. How delightfully and tastefully it is phrased. It even incorporates current American crude-speak to show our visitors (or ourselves?) how cosmopolitan we are. As one who uses and finances the DART, and has enjoyed its poetry posters, I find this a sad descent. - Yours, etc.,
Wolverton Glen, Dalkey, Co Dublin.
