Sir, - Last night I witnessed bumper-to-bumper traffic, lengthy queues and some serious over-crowding. An incident caused by anti-globalisation protesters? Actually, it was caused by the arrival of St Therese of Lisieux's relics at the Carmelite convent in Malahide.
On a day when many countries erupted in protests it is refreshing to find we are not all quite as slick and shallow as we pretend to be. - Yours, etc.,
Ciara Garvan, Malahide, Co Dublin.
