Greens betray Tara for power - their 30 pieces of silver

[interested_]

I agree ....

Especially as there is a COMPLETELY VALID AND RECCOMMENDED SOLUTION......

The Orange Route ...

What's shown there doesn't include the linkages that would be required back to the existing N3. Tara would have its very own ring-road! There is also a case to be made that the relatively unspoilt Western side of Tara should be left that way, to say nothing of the archaeology over there. Let's be honest, the opposition would probably have been far greater had they chosen that route.

Yes... I don't think that the people would mind driving 15 miles on a quiet fairly decent road to get to the M3..... This was however the one fact
that went with the Blue Route..
Orange-Orange-Blue-Orange....As the man said

No because we paid Conor Newman for 18 odd years to do the Tara Survey so we'd have an idea where the momuments are ... he favours
the Orange Route... No-one is stopping the motorway... only re-routing
one section.

I'm looking forward to seeing Eamon Gilmore put a private members motion down on this and seeing how the Greens react.

FG committed itself during the election to support a rerouting if formally advised that that was the best heritage option given the existence of the henge.

So it'll be fun for the opposition to slowly stew the Greens (lentils optional).

Who do they need to formally advise them?

Surely not the Great Anna Kilfeather... such knowlege about Tara
after 4 years in the employment of the government

Or perhaps the young graduate doing the archaeological escavations ...
she's very excited to be handling 5000 year old objects....

Sorry for quoting myself but I've just seen this..

Lets have a windy motorway that kills people what a bloody great idea!!![/quote:3da2zpbd]


Have you seen the M50? All that used to separate the different carriageways was a bush. Then a couple of people got killed when a car crossed over and smashed head-on to oncoming traffic. So they put up some wire.

However the motorway lampposts remain unprotected and someone could easily crash into one if they lost control.

So I doubt if a re-routed M3 could be any more dangerous than the M50!

Dangerous roads. There's a new one.

Look. Even if you don't give a toss about heritage, history, culture or the environment, there's still a major reason to be against this route. Corrupt f*ckers friendly with government heads bought lands along this route when the route was mooted in certain circles and will make massive illegal profits out of it all. That's the only reason that FF wont change it. Already a certain landowner is advertising his land for development with the tag line advertising the short distance to Dublin vis the adjacent M3. It's another disgusting scandalous story of corruption in our emerald isle...
