Rath Lugh protester leaves tunnel

The young Kerry woman who had been staging an underground protest at Rath Lugh in the Tara/Skyrne valley left the tunnel last night.

23-year-old Lisa Feeney spent several days inside the 10 metre deep tunnel, protesting at the route of the M3 motorway.

She and others want the motorway to be moved away from the national monument at Rath Lugh.

Lisa's fellow protestors say her decision to leave the tunnel followed an agreement with the National Roads Authority.
