A safer and quicker route

Sir, - I have noted with much interest that many (if not all) of the letters printed against the proposed route of the M3 motorway are from people who do not have to travel on the N3 on a daily basis. On the table at the moment is a safer and quicker route of travel instead of a few minor archaeological sites that are not even in the core zone of the Hill of Tara.

Maybe if these people would like to spend four hours a day, five days a week, travelling from Navan to and from Dublin, they would have a different opinion if this motorway is needed or not.
