Wed 09 Sep 2007Government to reply to Brussels warning
The Government is to respond within days to the European Commission's written warning in relation to the demolition of the national monument at Lismullin, Co Meath, to make way for the M3 motorway.
It is understood that the Government will tell the commission it intends to continue construction of the road through the Tara Skryne Valley despite the discovery of archaeological remains at Lismullin. It will also defend its decision not to conduct a new environmental impact assessment (EIA) on the project following the discovery of the national monument.
