Taoiseach Micheál Martin expressed concern over a judicial review of the €1.3 billion Greater Dublin Drainage Project, initiated by environmental NGO Wild Irish Defence. The review jeopardizes the construction of thousands of homes due to potential delays in water and waste connections.

Martin criticized the challenge as undermining the common good, emphasizing the need for balance between individual rights and national infrastructure needs. He indicated that legislative changes are being considered to streamline the judicial review process and mitigate future challenges to critical projects.
