Shane Ross’s Olympic ambition

Sir, – Further to "Shane Ross raises possibility of Ireland hosting Olympics" (July 12th), will Shane Ross do or say anything to get his name in the newspapers?

The last thing this country needs to do now is waste millions on a bid to host an event which, in the highly unlikely event of us succeeding in attracting, would no doubt bankrupt us – again! – Yours, etc,
