Madam, - Your front-page photograph in yesterday's edition page shows the Minister for Transport, Mr Brennan, "being congratulated" at the emergence of the tunnel-boring machine in Fairview Park. Why is he being congratulated? Did he pay for it? Did he design it? Did he construct it?

Credit where credit is due to him, perhaps, on other issues, but it is he who should be giving out the congratulations on this one. - -Yours, etc.,

REDMOND McAULIFFE, Manor Heath, Dublin 16.
