Sir, - It used to be just one small joke to get to Howth by DART, but it has reinvented itself as two larger jokes to Malahide and Howth. Last Friday at rush hour (between 4.55 and 5.40 p.m. from Pearse) there was no DART to Howth for 45 minutes. Is the guy at Connolly carrying a big torch and dressed in a yellow jacket provided by CIE to walk you home along the tracks after the last DART has disappeared? Somebody please get a grip of CIE, preferably by the throat. - Yours, etc.,
Declan O'Donoghue, Howth Road, Sutton, Dublin 13.
