Making sense of cents
According to Foreign Affairs Minister Dermot Ahern (April
5th.), there is not a "red cent in the Exchequer" for the
proposed northeast hospital.
The hospital, possibly to be located in Navan, could cost
€650 million.
The M3 could cost at least €800m, and most likely
more - possibly €1 billion.
Why not shelve the double-tolled motorway, build the
hospital and still have plenty left over to improve the
current roads and public transport system?
Plenty of red cents. Plenty of common sense.
