SIR, - COUNCILLOR DAVID HEALY OF THE GREEN PARTY (SEPTEMBER 4TH) HAS COMPLETELY MISSED THE POINT OF MY LETTER.I OWN A COMPANY (ISLAND FERRIES TEO.) WHICH HAS SEEN A HUGE GROWTH IN PASSENGER NUMBERS TO THE ARAN ISLANDS IN THE PAST 15 YEARS. THESE TOURISTS USE THE ROAD FROM GALWAY TO THE EMBARKATION POINT AT ROS-A-MHIL. IN THAT TIME THERE HAS BEEN LITTLE IMPROVEMENT IN THIS IMPORTANT ACCESS TO CONNAMARA TO CATER FOR THE EVER INCREASING VOLUME OF TRAFFIC and CONSEQUENTLY WE EXPERIENCE LONG DELAYS.DUMPERS, JCBS, TRACTORS AND SUNDAY DRIVERS CONTRIBUTE FURTHER TO THESE DELAYS. PROSECUTING PERPETRATORS OF TAILBACKS WOULD BE ONE WAY OF ALLEVIATING THE PROBLEM. AT NO STAGE DID I SUGGEST THAT PEOPLE USE DANGEROUS SPEEDS AS HIS LETTER IMPLIES.SARCASTIC AND UNINTELLIGENT COMMENT ILL BECOMES MR HEALY'S POSITION AND THE PARTY HE REPRESENTS. THIS DISCERNING VOTER WILL REMEMBER NEXT TIME ROUND AT THE BALLOT BOX. - YOURS, ETC.,ISLAND FERRIES, CO GALWAY.
