A proposed new legal challenge to the construction of the M3 motorway through the historic Hill of Tara is to be outlined by campaigner Vincent Salafia today.
Mr Salafia dropped his long-running Supreme Court case earlier this month on condition he would not have to pay an estimated €600,000 costs incurred in a preceding High Court appeal.
Mr Salafia said he would reveal "three potential areas of future litigation" at a talk at NUI Maynooth, entitled The Inconvenient Truth About the M3 Motorway.
The presentation is inspired by the recently released film on the environment by former US vice-president Al Gore.
"The main focus of this talk will be to make people aware of the fact that citizens have been lied to on many different fronts, particularly economic," he said. "The National Roads Authority plan to hold the public consultation for the tolling of the M3 after they sign the Public Private Partnership contract with the tolling consortium.
"It's a farce. The public are being deprived of any meaningful consultation, required by law, since the essential elements of the contract will already be agreed.
"The Irish people are being completely hoodwinked, again."
