Madam, – This correspondent supports the campaign launched by Vincent Salafia (January 26th) to re-route the proposed Slane bypass to the west of the village and as far away as possible from the most historic heritage sites around Newgrange.
The National Roads Authority seems to be intent on endangering the most precious heritage sites in the country to satisfy the national obsession with car ownership and the building of more and bigger roads.
Increasingly, we seem to live in a country ruled by complete philistines. Protect our heritage, protect Newgrange: re-route the Slane bypass. – Yours, etc,
