Road spending plans are way off track

How can we even think of spending €800 million on a motorway from Cork to Limerick with the country in economic meltdown?

It is not just the bankers and politicians who are to blame, but the squandering of Celtic Tiger money (€10 billion a year) on roads which do not produce a financial return.

If the theory that building roads creates prosperity were true, we would all be millionaires by now!
