    really love to know who this was passed by

    because i did not get a vote to say if they could drill for any oil or gas

    any thing below the soil and in the rivers belongs to the irish state (the people) not the government.

    Dept of Transport have reviewed the construction cost of the M3 and concluded that the foundations must be solid gold. They're looking to scrape a bit off the edges.

    thanks for your answer just wondering does the cost of the m3 not get covered by the 2 tolls that they have in place.

    its a possibility they were used to drill holes for creating the supports for Fly-overs / bridges on some road development.

    You might be better asking over on the Dublin County North forum or the Meath one.
