Sample Letter:

I wish to express my concern regarding plans to build the M3 freeway through the Hill of Tara/Skryne Vallley. There are other options available. These include: improving the existing N3; re-opening the Navan-Dublin railway line; or moving the M3 away from this delicate archaeological landscape.

From ancient times, the Hill of Tara has been the ceremonial and mythical ancient capital of Ireland and universally recognized as the "heart and soul of Ireland."

It would be a tragic irony to see a super highway cut into this beautiful landmark. Since tourism is essential to Ireland's economy, it should be remembered that visitors come to Ireland to see the beauty of the landscape, and to celebrate the unique character of Irish cultural heritage.

I look forward to your reply, and in the meantime urge you to oppose the imminent despoilment of Tara by the M3 motorway, and to do all you can in working for the reversal of this disastrous decision.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
