Group vows legal action over M3 monument

CAMPAIGNERS yesterday pledged to take legal action if the Government decides to destroy a national monument discovered last month on the controversial M3 route, writes Paul Melia. A spokesman for Environment Minister Dick Roche said no decision has been made yet on whether the 3,000-year-old pagan site at Lismullen, Co Meath, would be left in place or preserved 'by record'.

But Vincent Salafia, of Tarawatch, said a "full blown" High Court challenge could arise unless the monument was saved.
