M3 Tara campaigners should move
on
Dear sir - Is there any chance that the "Save Tara"
people might give us all a rest from the constant
bleating about the building of the M3? We have news this
week that Howley, one of the companies involved in the M3
project, is going belly-up.
The protesters circle like vultures, pecking at the NRA,
hoping that there might be more casualties. Yes, it would
have been a better option to have built a railway line
from Dublin city centre to Kells but it didn't happen and
it is unlikely to happen for many years.
Meanwhile, the M3 is now almost half-way to completion.
It is time to move on. In a couple of years Meath will
have an impressive piece of infrastructure but more
importantly, we will have a safer road for commuters. The
Hill of Tara will still be intact and maybe it might even
benefit from the new motorway as it will be easier and
quicker for potential visitors to get there.
I appreciate that the Tara campaigners feel strongly
about this subject but surely there are many other more
serious issues in this world more deserving of this level
of campaigning energy? Right now, as part of the M3
project, there is an impressive-looking bridge being
built beside the Fairyhouse roundabout; I think it's time
for the protestors to get over it!
Yours,
John Reilly,
Maelduin,
Dunshaughlin.
