OBJECTORS opposing the building of a motorway close to the Hill of Tara have pledged to take a series of legal challenges to ensure the route is changed.

Tara motorway protesters to take legal action

In the next few weeks they plan to seek a judicial review of the An Bord Pleanala decision to grant permission to the controversial M3 Motorway and also intend to challenge compulsory purchase orders due to be issued by Meath County Council shortly for lands needed to build the motorway.

They also say they will go to the European Court of Justice with a claim that the project breaches the National Monuments Act, and will seek to have Tara declared an UNESCO world heritage site like Newgrange and Skellig Michael.
