There is a middle class desire emanating from the south-east of England and to which Senator Mansergh referred last week to the effect that a person should be able to go from his or her middle class home in the suburbs or the city at the weekend and visit a rural zoo where he or she should see nothing. He or she should probably not see people and would be fortunate if he or she were to see livestock. It is getting to the point where the countryside is a wilderness. That is not what traditional Irish society is about.
