Madam, - With this year's crop of the noxious weed ragwort now flowering liberally along the highways and by-ways of south Co Dublin and Co Kildare (and elsewhere as well, no doubt) one wonders, now that the Michael McDowell's Garda Reserve is up and running, whether we can expect effective enforcement of the enacted legislation against offending county councils. - Yours, etc,
PHILIP O'REILLY, Grosvenor Place, Rathmines, Dublin 6.
