Government should come clean on real story of M3

THE Fianna Fáil MEP Liam Aylward (Letters, September 7) tried to “set the record straight as to the exact role of the European Commission concerning the M3 motorway”.

He also sought to put the issue into perspective because “some people who oppose this development have totally overstated and misrepresented the role of the European Commission in this matter”.

However, in doing so he himself overstates and misrepresents the key issues, and ignores the wider implications.
