I VISITED the Hill of Tara and surrounding heritage-rich area recently. The ancient Bronze Age hillfort of Rath Lugh, just across the Gabhra valley from Tara, is itself an imposing structure and lies directly in the path of the proposed motorway.

THE wanton destruction by the National Roads Authority of important sites of natural and historical heritage in the Gabhra Valley and around Lismullin and Rath Lugh near Tara is unbelievable.
