Madam, - I am planning a group heritage tour of Ireland in 2007/2008 and am extremely saddened to hear that we possibly will be unable to see the Hill of Tara and surrounding valley in their unspoilt beauty because of the proposed M3 motorway. I understand a recent survey has shown three quarters of Irish citizens want Tara to be protected from the motorway, but the current Government is pressing on regardless and ignoring its people. I wonder how this factors into next year's elections. - Yours, etc,
