Madam, - Dermot O'Shea (October 18th) should have no fear that we as a nation have lost our sense of outrage. Indeed, most of us are incensed at the actions of a small number of self-serving anarchists, marshalled by Joe Higgins and his Socialist Party comrades, to disrupt bin collections around Dublin.
The vast majority of law-abiding citizens realise Ireland's waste problem needs to be tackled urgently and that we all have a civic duty to play a part. - Yours, etc.,
MICHAEL CULLEN, Albert Park, Sandycove, Co Dublin.
