Cullen is on the wrong track

Sir - A few weeks ago Bertie Ahern announced the revival of the Easter Parade to celebrate the 100th. anniversary of the Rising in 2016.

This was followed by last week's announcement of a 10-year transport strategy, including a new Metro line that will run under O'Connell Street and a new Luas line that will run past the GPO.

Given this Government's propensity for project over-runs, it now looks like O'Connell Street will be unavailable for the parade in 2016 because of transport works.

Is this another example of Martin Cullen's "joined-up thinking?"

Cllr. Naoise O Muiri,
Halla na Cathrach,
