Paying for a public profile

Sir, – Why is Visit Dublin advertising on the side of buses in Dublin? And why does Irish Water (a public utility, which has no competitor and which we fund) see the need to tell us how wonderful it is? I am sure these public bodies are employing professional branding agencies who are feeding them some waffle about building “profile” but please could they please do so with someone else’s money! – Yours, etc,

ANDREW SMITH,
