Sir, - John Molloy (April 6th) is very liberal in attributing shame to those who fail to collect litter strewn in their areas. But what of the people who leave this litter in the first place?

While a single paper of itself may not look like much, add them all up and you have litter. Add up the cost of cleaning this up, and you have money which could better be spent on many other things, from schools to hospitals, to decent road-signs.

Grow up, people of Ireland, and clean up too. - Yours, etc.,
