ENVIRONMENT Minister John “Gormless” Gormley is now faced with a potentially embarrassing High Court challenge over a decision made by his predecessor to allow the M3 motorway to be built over an historic site near the Hill of Tara. The Green TD claimed when he came to office last June that he was powerless to over-turn a last-minute order made by outgoing Environment Minister Dick Roche for 2,000 year old ruins discovered last year near the Hill of Tara to be destroyed to make way for the M3. In a turbulent first day in office last June, Mr Gormley declared he had no authority to revoke his predecessor’s order, despite his so-called commitment to protecting heritage. Numerous high profile people have criticised the government’s stance on the Hill Of Tara, including most recently Dublin-born actor Stuart Townsend commenting that:
“If more people had protested against the idea of building a road on such as important site, the Government would not have even tried to go ahead with it.
But he stressed it was not too late to reverse the project, and said:
“People should let their voices be heard. This fim shows what people power can do, and Tara should be no different.
There is also a petition in place to stop the development of the motorway on the hill of Tara.
