Better late than never for mooted nuclear plant

The letter argues against delaying the construction of a nuclear plant by citing the delayed National Children’s Hospital as a reason to abandon large-scale infrastructure projects. The author counters this by pointing out that all major projects in Ireland, including the M50 motorway, the Luas light rail system, and the Moneypoint coal power station, have faced delays without justifying their cancellation. The writer asserts that once such projects are completed, public focus shifts away from their delays, suggesting that similar acceptance would apply to a nuclear plant.
