An ancient burial ground near the Hill of Tara in Co Meath was razed to
the ground during overnight work on the controversial M3 motorway,
environmentalists claimed today.

Below a Gormley quote (Green Minister of the Environment in Ireland), he is'nt going to stop the motorway..."it will just have to be "sheathed, shaded and screened" now thats gallow humour. How the '****** do you make invisible a large motorway?
Each monument will go under the bulldozer, legally or illegally..

The Minister said the protection of the national heritage was "a priority" for him. "I will not hesitate to exercise my statutory powers to issue directions appropriate to the particular circumstances should any new site of national importance emerge."
