Sir, – Well said Una Mullally! (Opinion, September 14th). I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiments expressed.

Never mind the dismal treatment of workers, the huge amount of waste and the obscene number of items destroyed every week. Once we get a few jobs out of it sure isn’t it grand. Small, short-term gains for long-term catastrophe. And we have the Green Party in Government! It’s disgusting. – Yours, etc,
