Campaigners to challenge motorway plan for Tara

THE plan to run a new motorway between the hills of Tara and Skryne in Co Meath is to be challenged in the High Court unless a compromise can be reached within the next week.

Representatives of the campaign to save the archaeologically rich site are due to meet the Oireachtas sub-committee on the environment and local government tomorrow in a last-ditch effort to avoid litigation.

The delegation will include academic experts as well as campaign members.
