flag A Northern Ireland judge rebuked government departments for adding new climate claims during an appeal over the £1.7bn A5 road project, calling the move "unprincipled."

flag A High Court judge in Northern Ireland condemned government departments for introducing new climate arguments during an appeal over the £1.7bn A5 road upgrade, calling their actions “unprincipled” and “gaslighting.” The project, aimed at reducing fatalities on a dangerous 58-mile route where 57 people have died since 2006, was previously quashed due to insufficient evidence on climate goals. flag The judge rejected the departments’ late legal claims, stressing that new arguments must be based on fresh decisions, not appeals. flag Infrastructure Minister Liz Kimmins plans to continue challenging the ruling despite the criticism.
