Fail again, better?

Sir, – I note the 30km/h speed limit in Dublin “has failed to reduce traffic speeds, Dublin City Council has concluded”. Naturally, the same council now “plans to expand the area covered by this limit” (Olivia Kelly, Home News, November 9th)). Does the taxpayer need any further illustration of the way their money is wasted by what passes for public administration in this country? – Yours, etc,
