Veteran Limerick TD Willie O'Dea has accused Transport Minister Eamon Ryan of acting in "clear breach" of the Programme for Government by not allowing the controversial Moyross road project to proceed. He said what Mr Ryan is doing is “a clear breach of the terms of programme for government”. Speaking today, Mr O’Dea gave voice to the possible threat of Fianna Fáil TDs not supporting Green measures when they need to be voted upon in the Dáil. Speaking to the Irish Examiner, Mr O’Dea said there has been deliberate confusion spread about the stances taken by politicians in relation to the road’s progress. Speaking on RTÉ radio, Mr Ryan said he was willing to approve part of the project but wants to explore other transport options for the rest of it, an option which Mr O’Dea utterly rejected.
