Madam, - Hardly a week goes by without us seeing a politician, a fluorescent jacket and a tin hat all in the one photograph or TV image.
To accompany the coveted photo opportunity is a breathless announcement about some new or improved infrastructural plan which will come to pass - well, some time soon. May I suggest politicians seek an additional piece of body armour for future photo-calls, this time to protect their hard necks? - Yours, etc,
TOM CONLON, Carpenterstown, Dublin 15.
