Sir, - Dr Fergus Ryan (July 21st), is definitely not alone in "feeling duped". How can the Government allow a situation to develop like this, without strict controls and penalties in operation? I am weary from hearing from retailers when questioned on price increases that "we are getting in line for the euro". They must think that all their Christmasses have come at once.
All I know for certain is that once again it will be the people on low incomes that will suffer the most, but what can we expect from a Government that seems to operate in a zone removed from its people. - Yours, etc.,
F. O'Connor- Duggan, Sunday's Well, Cork.
