Sir, - Has the world gone mad? Lorry drivers protesting at a clampdown on illegal dumping on our land?
If that will put them out of business, then consider the sheer volume of material being dumped illegally. If each of 200 drivers were to illegally dump "only" one load a day, that's 1,000 illegal loads a week, or upwards of 20,000 tonnes! That really does put the "ire" into Ireland, or perhaps that should be Mireland. - Yours, etc.,
Philip Byrne, Newcourt Road, Bray, Co Wicklow.
