A5 WTC (New Road from Aughnacloy to Derry)

[EC Unique]

The road will definitely be built. No doubt. The annoying bit is letting Danny Kennedy hold it up for a few years and adding tens of millions to the eventual cost but be under no illusions... The road will be built.

Im tempted to ask for your source for the blame laying at Danny Kennedy's door. Nothing at all to do with any politician that the road has not yet proceeded.

It's political and you know it.

Its 100% an indisputable fact that the only reason that the A5 isn't currently being constructed is due to the legal process finding that the DRD's Consultants failed to do their job properly to comply with the legislation.

Why do you think the legal process took part? It had all already been passed and work commenced but the group against the road (backed by unionist politicians) dug and dug for a reason to stop it. This never would have been near a court only for this group.

Who are the consultants?

The legal process took place due to the objections of the umbrella group set up by the land owners, business owners and tree huggers, as it turned out the law was on their side. This group is nothing to do with any unionist political group. I agree that the only reason it ended up in court was due to them.

Mouchel are the lead consultants on behalf of DRD Roads Service.

Do you think the road will go ahead?

This whole f**k up is political. I would bet my life that not one catholic is a member of that opposing group.

The road is linking Donegal with Dublin, it has been dubbed 'the United Ireland Highway', Both Nationalist parties are backing the road publically, both Unionist parties are not.

But it is not Political

Probably a couple of druids though.

Serious sweeping generalisation there.
Some of those opposed that i know , are not swayed in slightest by whatever political persuation, but rather the loss of their land, the compensation for such land and the tax liability they will have as a result of recieving income from this.

As someone stated above had the legal challenge on the badgers ( or whatever it was)  been unsuccessful the work would have been commenced by now, irrespective if it was a prod or taig badger !

Work had already commenced. Approx £100Million of tax payers money spent. The job would probably be over 50% finished by now.
