TaraWatch to stage worldwide protest against construction of M3 motorway

Thursday July 12 2007

TaraWatch campaigners are to stage protests at Irish embassies around the world tomorrow.

Demonstrations will get underway in New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles and London, to highlight what protestors say is the government's refusal to acknowledge that the construction of the M3 motorway is illegal.

TaraWatch is stepping up its protests to try and put pressure on Environment Minister John Gormley to act on this issue, and prevent their case coming before the courts.

A "Love Tara" march will also be held in Dublin on Saturday.
