Sir, - The strategy adopted by the Irish Locomotive Drivers Association (ILDA) is doomed to failure. They have failed to grasp the most fundamental principle of industrial action - cause inconvenience to the first class citizens of the Republic of Dublin. Those of us living in the outback are well used to trekking overland without the assistance of those newfangled iron horses. - Yours, etc.,
Anthony Sheridan, Cobh, Co Cork.
