Road to ruin

NOW that the EU is pursuing legal action against the State for the Government's failure to assess the true impact of the planned route for the M3, how can Ireland's political leaders fail also to weigh the prospect of EU fines as well as the serious damage to a priceless heritage against the costs of a better route?

Why ignore a much cheaper rail option? To stay the course is shortsighted folly.
