IBEC: Motorists want M3 built on route past Hill of Tara

The employers body IBEC has called on Environment Minister Dick Roche to allow the M3 motorway to be build on its planned route alongside the Hill of Tara in Co Meath.

Heritage campaigners want Mr Roche to re-route the motorway away from the Tara-Skryne Valley, which is rich in archaeology associated with Tara, the ancient seat of the High Kings of Ireland.
