Labour demand rethink of M3 motorway plans

The Labour Party has called on the Government not to go ahead with the proposed plans for the M3 motorway.

The proposed route would see the M3 motorway pass through Tara Skyrne Valley.

Labour's environment spokesperson Eamon Gilmore said that the National Roads Authority must consider alternative options for the route.

He said: “We think that the sensible thing to do would be to pull back from it now, construction contracts have not yet been entered into and now is the time to take stock of it.

“We know that there are anything from 38 to 48 archaeological sites that have now been identified along that particular route.”
