Sir, - To all those wishing to highlight local problems (such as temporary Traveller campsites), here's a simple method that will guarantee results.
Simply transplant your problem from your town or village to a middle-class housing estate in Rathfarnham or some other southside Dublin suburb, and guarantee yourself as much TV and radio airtime as you wish. RTE will be more than happy to transform a petty local issue into national news. - Yours, etc.,
Jim McDermott, Dame Street, Dublin 2.
