Councillor misses the new motorway route

“ANOTHER myth,” said Shane Cassells, Meath councillor and Fianna Fáil candidate in the recent Dáil election, during a radio interview on Thursday, May 12.

He was responding to a comment that the M3 motorway will go through Dalgan Park - the home base of the Columban Missionary Fathers).

The M3 will in fact go through Dalgan Park, consuming 40 acres of prime land, destroying the riverside walks and the natural environment enjoyed by a great number of people Mr Cassells is supposed to represent.

One would expect the councillor, being a local public representative, to know the route and structure of the planned motorway in every detail.

He very clearly does not, since the radio interview was actually held in Dalgan Park!
