A number of routes near the 600-metre archaeological site are being considered. The final decision on the route has yet to be made by Environment Minister Dick Roche.

“We have been giving it some thought as to the feasibility of devising a slightly different route,” Michael Egan, head of corporate affairs at the NRA, confirmed. “We’re reasonably optimistic a viable alternative could be found if that is the effect of the minister’s decision,” he said.
