With the digging in the Tara Gabhra Valley in progress, time is running out to make it public knowledge that the current M3 route is a massive squandering of public money as it detours off like a rampaging tornado towards Tara before resuming its 'natural' directness from Navan to Kells that is normally a feature of motorways. ... read full story / add a comment

British security chiefs are reported to be hopping mad after an American based internet site published a list of over 100 of their active agents and their locations .

Some of the names have been based in Ireland . The most prominent on the list is former UK Liberal leader Paddy Ashdown , a "former" British Army officer .
