Sir, – On my radio today I hear that the Government of Ireland is advising me that if I walk or cycle for some of my journeys I will assist in the lowering of the country’s harmful emissions due to transport. This is the same Government that wants to remove the cap on flights at Dublin Airport. Go figure. – Yours, etc,

Brendan McGill,
