I've put it up on my No Means No blog at williamwall.eu I'm assuming an open letter is not copyright. I think that's the meaning of the term. Do you have a contact for Gareth Murphy?

I've spent a lot of time in France and have often wondered about that difference. I think this letter is a more than adequate explanation. Well done Philip, for posting it. As a europhile no-voter on Lisbon, I'd like to see a real debate before Lisbon 2 - not just about politics but about culture, human rights, social democracy, direction. If we start now we'll be ahead of the posse when the time comes to vote again. Brilliant letter. I’ve spent a lot of time in France and have often wondered about that difference.

Pity Dublin Bus did not think of this in the sixties, when the city was growing. They went on strike when ever they felt like it, however if they receive a non-strike bonus of 20% of pay, it could be that people would start trusting bus travel again, and with the millions saved, we cold have a pollution free city and people could get to work without stress and forget about their cars.
