Adjournment Matters. - Architectural Heritage.
This order should be annulled because modification of the route is possible. It is interesting that other areas of the motorway can be modified if they are considered to cause practical problems. An example is the Red Cow roundabout, now rightly referred to as the mad cow roundabout because the situation there is so chaotic. The Minister for Transport, Deputy Brennan, who is not happy about what is happening at Carrickmines, has said that if the Luas light rail system causes more congestion at the Red Cow junction, a flyover can be built at a cost of €11 million. More money can be found for an area in which traffic congestion has to be dealt with but it cannot be found to deal with national monuments.
