Tara campaigners win chance to address committee

A group protesting at the current planned route of the M3 which was denied an opportunity to appear before the Oireachtas Transport Committee will now be allowed to make a submission, it emerged today.

The Save Tara Skryne Valley Group, which opposes the building of the M3 at the Hill of Tara, was originally told they could not make a representation to the committee because it went beyond the terms of reference and was not confined to purely transport issues.
