Reply To: Irelands Ten Worst Roundabouts

I can’t say that I know anything about mussels myself. But it is important that unique species are protected.

If there was one route only for this motorway it would be different but in reality there are many possible routings. Such as following the Dublin-Cork rail line which would yield minimum interference with existing farms as the railway is already a barrier. Why create a second one?

If the NRA push this the EU will intervene just like they did at Kildare and we all know how many years that took.

Real world decisions involve careful risk management practices, such as calculating the existence of known EU directives and regulations. It would have been prudent to choose a route that didn’t involve EU interventions.

But the NRA have decided that they are right just like at the Red Cow, where they ignored the LUAS, the original Westlink and all the other series errors they have tried to cut corners on.
