Sir, - Two adjoining stories on your front page of October 2nd give us an insight into the mindset of bureaucracy in this country. It seems that the authorities could not outlaw the provision of illegal banking services in a particular building, yet they seem to be able to prevent the sale of lingerie in another.
Surely the old adage, which once applied to a certain type of lady, "all fur coat, no knickers", must apply in this situation. - Yours, etc.,
John Maher, Grange Heights, Waterford.
