Madam, - May I express my amazement and horror at the Campaign to Save Tara's use of my name and official position in their campaign to politicise efforts to re-route the proposed M3 motorway at Tara.

My role has been, and is, to advise the Minister for the Environment, which I have done. My position precludes my ever becoming engaged in a politicised public controversy. My name has been used without my permission, or without any reference to the National Museum of Ireland. - Yours, etc,

PATRICK F WALLACE, Director, National Museum of Ireland, Kildare Street, Dublin 2.
