Sir, – My eldest son had three bicycles stolen in as many years. He reported it to the Garda Síochána and they were able to advise him that bicycle theft was rampant at the moment, at an all time high. Nothing they could do to help. Try to claim on your house insurance.
Imagine my relief to read that the Garda Síochána are now prosecuting at least five tax-paying cyclists every week for breaking a red light. What a useful way to spend scarce resources. I imagine when they reach a point where most of the cyclists are non-taxpayers, cycling stolen bikes, they will divert their resources to prosecuting tax-paying jay walkers. Follow the money lads, you’re playing a blinder! – Yours, etc,
CIARAN SUDWAY,
