Motorway works at Tara
(2)
Madam, - As the National Roads Authority digs into the
esker at the base of Rath Lugh, Kathy Sinnott receives a
written reply from the European Commission that says:
"The commission is fully aware of the prevailing
situation in relation to the proposed construction of the
M3 motorway through the Tara-Skryne valley".
"The commission further notes that construction of the
proposed route is blocked".
John Gormley did not bother to check the esker on his
recent visit to Rath Lugh. Then he issued a statement
saying that the monument was safe. What has he told the
European Commission to lead them to believe that
construction is "blocked"?
The NRA, responsible to Minister for Transport Noel
Dempsey, (i) did not keep their word to Lisa Feeney, (ii)
they refuted the agreement that they had made and (iii)
they sent the 10-point agreement to The Irish Times
(published March 21st).
With the Taoiseach floundering in the tribunal, no wonder
his ministers feel no responsibility to the truth.
What sort of leadership is this to the young and not to
young citizens of our country?
- Yours, etc,
