M3 - not required?
Madam, - Whoever wrote the Editorial on Tara and the M3
in your edition of November 27th. must never have been to
Co. Meath and must spend their existence on the Luas, the
DART, or in some city apartment which does not involve
travel to the north-west of our capital city.
To describe the mooted M3 motorway as "arguably not
required" is a piece of inaccurate nonsense which is far
from the standards The Irish Times sets for itself.
Whatever the merits of the motorway route (and it is
planned to be further from the Hill of Tara than the
existing N3), let us at least have some accurate
assessment of the needs of those who travel to Dublin
from neighbouring north-western counties.
- Yours, etc.,
JOHN MOORE,
Leshamstown,
Drumree,
Co Meath.
