M3 row . . .

Fiona Purcell claims that the M3 is a necessity for anyone travelling from Meath to Dublin (Letters, September 28th.).

As she writes from Drogheda, I wonder if she is au fait with the situation. The motorway can go ahead and thus magically improve the lives of Meath residents (they hope) without destroying the Tara/Skryne valley archaeology.

The word she needs is "re-route".

That's all that is required. Better routes were submitted and no rational explanation has yet been proffered as to why they were rejected.
