Madam, – I note with interest your report (page 3, August 12th) that the final cost of the Dublin Port tunnel has been put at €789 million.
On page 11 of the same issue, a report on the flooding in Pakistan notes that “news of the fresh surges came as the UN launched an emergency fundraising appeal for $459 million (€357 million), warning survivors still face life-threatening conditions from disease and food shortages”. – Yours, etc,
