No "hypocrisy" case to answer

YOUR Cutting Edge last week considers him/herself to be offended at the "hypocrisy" of my seeking to preserve 16 Moore Street, the location of the surrender in 1916, while giving the go ahead for the M3 motorway.

If the Cutting Edge was so sharp he or she would surely know by now that the decision on major roads is a matter for an independent body . . . An Bord Pleanála . . . not the Minister for the Environment.

Dick Roche TD,
Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government.
