Sir, - Is it not a very strange thing that our legislators make it illegal to go on to a construction site without a hard hat (Construction Regulations, 1995) while at the same time thirty hurlers can spend 70 minutes flailing around themselves with hurls, the majority of them hard men using no head protection whatever? As Margaret said, isn't it a funny old world? - Yours. etc.,
Newgarden, Castleconnell, Co Limerick.
