The Road to Hell

Well the Fianna Fail government have lived up to their reputation once again as a bunch of chancers and gombeen men with the approval of the controversial M3 motorway which is set to desecrate the ancient site of Tara. Read Indymedia for comments and take the poll at this site.
The Republic's government seems to be of the opinion that everyone should be within 5 miles of a motorway. Whether this affects quality of life, heritage or environment does not seem to matter to them. The real reason for their continued support for this road building madness is perhaps the huge amounts of money they and their supporters gather from the Irish (and European) taxpayer. Look at the collossal amounts of money spent so far on the great infrastructure projects. Not one of these roads was built to budget. Most are twice or more than their original estimated cost.
I'll be down at the protests.
