Taoiseach owes county an abject apology

THE Taoiseach has finally seen the light.

On the e-voting debacle, he informed the Dáil before its dissolution that “we will be the laughing stock of Europe”. He also said he was “embarrassed” and that he had to apologise to the people of Meath for the M3 construction delay.

Whatever about e-voting, the Taoiseach should be embarrassed about his public dismissal of Tara. He certainly owes Meath people an abject apology for deliberately misleading them by blaming protesters and court actions for delaying the monstrous M3. Archaeological investigation is not yet complete despite the indecent haste of the NRA.

The Taoiseach also owes the people of Meath an apology for the delay in reopening their railway line, allowing the county to develop in an unsustainable way and for planning to toll them twice for the privilege of driving over the dwellings and graves of our ancestors.
