    Generally there's top soil left over after the job but a lot of it is used for verges, batters and tip covering.

    Sounds kinda like busyatwork intends on creaming off excess topsoil and selling it on the sly to unscrupulous black-market topsoil dealers.

    That topsoil is the sovereign property of the Irish people! Hands of our natural resources you bleddy thief!

    The topsoil racket is a fierce scourge these days...

    Just noticed that on the FAQ section on the scheme website, it states that there will in fact not be a phased opening of the road. This is despite the fact that the Tuam Bypass element will surely be complete first, unless they deliberately concentrate elsewhere.

    When some random person on the internet says that they think something will happen, without any links to any sources other than their own opinion, I wouldn't take it as gospel.
    Especially when the people actually building the road say it won't happen.
