Judicial reviews taken against major infrastructure projects are “unfairly and unduly” jeopardising the common good, the Taoiseach has said.

Micheál Martin criticised the use of judicial reviews as the Government published its new report on competitiveness and productivity, citing a review against the Dublin drainage scheme taken in recent weeks.
