The Kildare bypass was delayed because of a rare snail that possibly nobody has even seen. The same thing occurred near Doonbeg in County Clare. As Chairman of the Committee on Public Accounts, I questioned the chairman of the National Roads Authority on the delay in the construction of the Kildare bypass. If I remember correctly, that delay increased costs by approximately €20 million. If directives such as this are a barrier to progress, we should be able to make the decision ourselves about whether a snail is rare.
