Prejudice, not facts

For Dr. Mark Dooley to call objectors to the M3 "crazies" is despicable when there is a perfectly feasible alternative to this €900.00 scheme - the reinstitution of the Dublin-Navan rail line, and an easily achievable upgrade to the existing N3 road with proper traffic management systems (with reversible lanes at peak times).

Incidentally, the monuments carved into a mountain in Afghanistan but destroyed by the Taliban were thousands of years younger (at about 800 years old) than some of the artefacts and monuments already found along this M3 route - which come from as long ago as 5000BC.

But giving this due consideration doesn't suit the simplistic, jingoistic and scurrilous prejudices of irresponsible people.
