Sir, - If taxi plate-owners are to be compensated by the taxpayer for the capital loss they suffer due to their speculative investment going sour, then should:
speculating property owners be compensated for their loss if a price crash results in negative equity?
our national airline be compensated if is are uncompetitive due to deregulation and to rival carriers operating off a lower cost base?
victims of wine investment scams be compensated when their low-risk/high- return opportunity turns disastrously wrong?

everyone who sees a financial investment go wrong be compensated?.
I think not!
This Government has got to learn to say "NO"! - Yours, etc.,
Brendan O'Sullivan, Model Farm Road, Cork.
