Hi Wingdawg,
Well, it's a very emotive subject over here at the moment. See there are thousands of commuters using overcrowded roads built decades ago to get from their homes to work in the city of Dublin. This causes stress, loss of time, and costs the economy lots I'm sure. So, to cut a long story very short, it has been decided to build a new "highway" as you guys call them, to solve the congestion. Problem is though, it will run through some of the most precious and ancient countryside we have here. There are literally hundreds of excavation sites to be dug through, and who knows what they will find. It will probably take years to get through the legal challenges and courts. In the meantime, the misery continues for the commuters. The planners seem to have completely dismissed upgrading and reopening rail lines that are currently underused and underfunded. That is a very brief synopsis of the situation. I am sure that others will join in with their views also. Hope this helps...
