Sir, – The effective shutting down of Dublin city for four days this week to facilitate an EU summit really is unacceptable. A bit of wit should have been applied and this summit should have been held at a venue that was a lot less disruptive. In 2013, a G8 Summit was hosted by the British prime minister in Lough Erne in Co Fermanagh and the participants included both Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama.

This was achieved with some disruption to the people of Enniskillen, but nothing compared to that about to be inflicted on the citizens of Dublin. – Yours, etc,

BRENDAN McMAHON,

Naas,

Co Kildare.
