"people will just turn a blind eye because they are getting rich."
sadly true....

Having sucessfully brought in Nice II, Roche took on Tara. yes, he built on the work of Dempsey,
who began his political career as Minister for state at the OPW and took with him many contacts
through the variety of seats he has held. no one denies Dempsey's role in this, he is part of the whole
FF mindset and they are inter-changeable with the Greens now.
if FF dump Bertie (Haughey's Finance person) as an old scion of that era, then they are not correctly drawing
a line under FF corruption because it has been endemic throughout the last years, Mary O Rourke did work very
closely with Mc Dowell and defended Harney in the last week. but quite honestly it necessitates a look at the
whole way that FF politics work and not the ministers in isolation from each other. Gormley took on Tara 24
hours after the licence was signed by Roche which means he did not do anything but took up the rotating chair.
he failed to separate himself from Roche's policy and is currently looking for ways to make the Lisbon Treaty acceptable to
the Greens and has strongly hinted support for the treaty. He and the Greens opposed every one from the
beginning.
Roche will be investigated in the EU- but something to remember is this thay have a mandate
and people will just turn a blind eye because they are getting rich.
Noel Dempsey, TD for Meath, as Minister for Environment & Local Government between July 22, 1997 and June 6, 2002, implemented wholesale changes to the An Bord Pleanála. In fact 6 out of the current 10 members of the board were originally appointed by him, the 7th was reinstated by him. All these appointments took place prior to the planning decisions to the route of the M3. Noel Dempsey; first appointed John O'Connor as chairperson for a seven-year term starting from May 6, 2000; he was educated at UCD, in the same subject as Dick Roche teaches there, Public Administration. The Deputy Chairperson, Brian Hunt, was appointed to the Board on 21st November 2001, from his previous job, Senior Executive Engineer in the Planning Department of Meath County Council.
Mary O'Rourke, TD for Westmeath, as Minister for Public Enterprise 1997–2002, appointed most of the board of the NRA that took the decision to proceed with the M3. The NRA’s board includes Raymond Potterton, Noel Dempsey brothers’ business partner. She also appointed the NRA Chairman, Peter Malone who, alongside Angus Potterton is a director of CBRE Gunne Property Group.
I have found it impossible to visit the sites. As a trained conservationist I have witnessed so much abuse
of our heritage, that it is killing, I have not walked in the valley in months. To me the destruction is
in the Lap of Dick Roche as then Minister for the Environment, (who is a thief), and by extension the
yob who claims to run our Government. John Gormley is little better having displayed a complete
lack of moral courage and integrity throughout since taking office. I will say one thing, there is
a need for this to be kept on all the time, the 'media' always fins something else to speak of
especially if it involves free sandwiches and junket type arrangements-such as Gormley's
risible repsonse to climate Change 'outing' the other day. Well done to the campaigns for the
years of work-and many have paid a very high price to consistently highlight the issue:-

They have abused power and mandate to beggar generations of Irish kids and are proven to
be thieves and liars- that is the legacy of ten years of FF. That will always be their legacy.
Just one more ... some of the camp at Rath Lugh. This is the esker that they will have to gouge out to put the road withing 20/30m of a huge monument.
The NRA mislead everyone - they said it was 100/110m away - too close anyway.
The new survey proved them WRONG.
This will undermine not only the sensitive esker but the very monument itself.
Are the NRA completely and utterly stark raving mad?
Would I ever drive such a road? Would you? Knowing what is under it?
