Quote: "As far as the BHD v BFS argument is concerned, I still maintain BFS was the wrong location for the Nutts Corner replacement.
The administration considered Long Kesh (Maze) at the time. This location is right beside the main railway line south from Belfast, as well as the M1. It's 10 miles at the most from Great Victoria Street, and would have offered easy access by train, bus and car. Why they didn't choose it, I'll never know
."

Maybe it's to do with recent history. On the other hand, in another part of the world it did not stop an airport being built at Changi.

BTW, why did Nutts Corner need replacing?
