The Tara/Skryne Valley and the M3 Motorway;
Development vs. Heritage.
Masters thesis, National University of Ireland Maynooth.
Abstract
This thesis is about the conflict concerning the building of the MB motorway in an
archaeologically sensitive area close to the Hill of Tara in Co. Meath. The main aim of
this thesis was to examine the conflict between development and heritage in relation to
the Tara/Skryne Valley; therefore the focus has been to investigate the planning process.
It has been found that both the planning process and the Environmental Impact
Assessment system in Ireland is inadequate. Another aspect of the conflict that was
explored was the issue of insiders and outsiders. Through the examination of both
quantitative and qualitative data, the conclusion has been reached that the majority of
insiders, people from the Tara area, do in fact want the M3 to be built. This is contrary to
the idea that was portrayed by the media that most people were opposed to the
construction of the motorway.
