New legal challenge to Hill of Tara motorway

Environmentalists today mounted a fresh legal challenge to force the state to halt work on a multi-million euro motorway through the ancient Hill of Tara.

Summonses were served on the Government, the National Roads Authority (NRA) and tolling contractor Eurolink Ltd by the Campaign to Save Tara group, who are supported in their bid by poet Seamus Heaney, MEP Kathy Sinnott and Sinn Féin.
