The Minister is acting in the most extraordinary way because, as in the case of the motorway in Italy, he is relying on funds from the European Union to construct this motorway in south Dublin. I understand that of the €140 million to be spent, at least €80 million will come from the European Union. The European Union petitions committee has been informed, it has registered its concern and its members have come here to investigate. The Minister should at least wait until they have adjudicated on the matter because it has always been made explicit that any EU funding is conditional on a proper environmental impact study being carried out. The Minister of State may recall that in the Supreme Court appeal, Mr. Justice Hardiman said he felt that the environmental impact study was deficient. He also said that he was treating Carrickmines Castle as a national monument. What would happen if the European Union withholds these funds because we have demolished a national monument?
