Madam, - I was amused to read in your edition of May 17th that Ms Harney is asking petrol retailers to use restraint in regard to the heavy increase in motor fuel prices. I would have thought she would be wiser to have her colleague, the Minister for Finance, reduce tax on fuel until this crisis is over before expecting any favours from retailers. - Yours, etc.,
JOE HARVEY, Glenageary Woods, Glenageary, Co Dublin.
