However, the Commission sending a letter by reasoned opinion to the Irish Government does not mean, as has been reported, that Ireland is going to be fined hundreds of millions of euros by the European Union or that the building of this road, which has commenced, has to stop, or that legal action will be taken against Ireland.
Sin embargo, el hecho de que la Comisión enviara un dictamen motivado al Gobierno irlandés no significa, como se ha dicho, que la Unión Europea vaya a imponer a Irlanda una multa de cientos de millones de euros, ni que vaya a detenerse la construcción de la carretera, que ya ha comenzado, ni que se vayan a emprender acciones legales contra Irlanda.
