Minister to announce M3 decision tomorrow

The Minister for the Environment is to announce his decision on the controversial M3 motorway at noon tomorrow.

Supporters have said it will provide much needed relief to thousands of commuters who spend hours stuck in traffic travelling between Meath and Dublin.

But opponents have archaeological concerns because they claim the proposed route passes too close to the historic Hill of Tara.

Campaigners have warned that if Minister Dick Roche gives the motorway the go-ahead, they will challenge the decision in the courts.
