Sir, – It is with utter despair and jealousy that I read Paul Gallagher’s letter (November 23rd). I’m here in Ballincollig, a suburb of Cork city (population circa 20,000) wondering when or even if my bus to Cork city will arrive. Buses regularly arrive late and sometimes don’t arrive at all here in Ballincollig. The adult single fare to town is €3.10. As for an up-to-the-minute information service . . . Try ringing the bus office in Cork, ha, ha! – Yours,e tc,
