NO CREDIBILITY
The advert can only be described as black propaganda.
Appearing in at least four national newspapers, the cost
of development and publication of the advert must be
close to €250,000. The NRA has been losing the
debate, and has been forced to buy rather than win
credibility. The only myth in these advertisements is
that the M3 will be delivered within budget and on
schedule. Because of the serious underestimation of
archeological sites and the certainty of legal
challenges, under Irish and EU law, it is doubtful this
route will ever be completed.
