The close proximity of the A33 to the M3 in the northern part of the study area would also preclude the provision of an MSA on the west side of this stretch of the motorway, as inevitably this would become a junction onto the motorway and could cause queueing on the slip roads.
Motorway planting and adjoining woodland (which is a SINC) are likely to be affected by the provision of slip roads.
The extent to which motorway safety is impaired by the lack of MSAs is not known.

 M3 MOTORWAY PROPOSALS AND THE HILL OF TARA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-23)
A recurrent theme in the debate concerning the Hill of Tara and the proposed motorway is that of an ‘archaeological landscape’.
This is because part of the route chosen for the M3 in the Tara area, runs in the valley between the Hill of Tara to the west and Skreen to the east.
It is noteworthy that the routing for the proposed motorway is to the east of the existing N3, and that the route has been designed so as not to impact upon any known archaeological monuments.

 CBRD - Motorway Database - M3
Until very recently, the M3 was split into two sections, with the gap plugged by a few miles of the A33 at Winchester.
This was all eventually thrown to the wind, and the Highways Agency filled in the gap at a cost of many millions of pounds and the slicing of a six lane motorway around the foot of St Catherine's Hill.
At its southern end, the M3 is fortunate enough to have its traffic effectively distributed by the M27, which kindly prevents all six lanes from piling into the northern suburbs of Southampton.

History of the M3 motorway in Hampshire, UK Twyford Down and St Catherine's Hill are names that to the people of mid-Hampshire became synonymous with modern day history after the Government's transport department sheered a gigantic motorway cutting through one of the most protected sections of landscape in the UK.
The three-lane motorway section from London reduced to two lanes a few miles north of Winchester, and the motorway status ended at a set of traffic lights at the junction of the A33 with the Morestead Road, a busy junction serving Winchester city centre.
In the early 1990's, the section of M3 motorway was completed from Southampton to the southern reaches of Twyford Down leaving just the one small section incomplete.

The Secretaries of State, in their decision letter of 10th April, 1987 concluded that an additional eastern connection between the M3 (south) and M27 (east) should not be provided.
In these circumstances, he advised that the monitoring of the situation before and after the construction of M3 would be the most appropriate basis for reassessing the need and justification for the Eastern Link.
If the Link were to be included in the current M3 proposals as suggested in the Notice of Motion, these procedures would almost certainly result in yet further delay in the construction of the main motorway proposals.

The proposed motorway is over 60km in length and is designed to connect with the existing M3 at Clonee (on the Dublin/Meath border) and continue on to just north of Kells, Co. Meath.
It is clear that although the potential impact of the M3 on the archaeological landscape of Tara was flagged from the outset as a major concern, this has not been adequately explored and debated in the EIS.
It is clear from the foregoing that the proposed motorway transgresses the core landscape of Tara, severing, visually and physically, the key eastern component of the Skreen ridge from the rest of the archaeological and historical landscape.

I deplore Bord Pleanala's decision to approve the M3 motorway on August 25, 2003.
Presumably the need for these motorways springs from research on the increased volume of vehicles on the roads, therefore it ought to be quite easy to quantify what the increase in greenhouse gases will be.
One of the reasons that the Society of St. Columban became involved in opposing the M3 motorway is that we believe that environmental issues like global warming are not merely technical issues but also constitute an ethical and religious challenge.

The planned M3 route will prevent the development of any Clonsilla- Navan rail link, since no provision is being made for a railway bridge over the motorway, according to Damien Cassidy of the North- South Rail Initiative.
He predicted that when the M3 is completed, cars and, more particularly, heavy goods vehicles in an attempt to avoid tolls would use the already over-stretched roads through towns like Dunboyne, Ratoath and Dunshaughlin.

In late prehistory it was demarcated, and defended, by a ring of earthwork fortifications that corresponds very closely with the royal demesne, the ferenn ríg, as historically defined and which in turn corresponds closely with later Barony of Skreen.
However, since the Environmental Impact Statement failed to provide any mature analysis of the impact this motorway would have on the Tara landscape, and instead merely listed the sites/monuments to be destroyed by it, it failed to provide NRA/MCC with a complete picture upon which to base their decision.
We are not opposed to the motorway per se, but are saying instead that one of the alternative routes that would have less impact on this uniquely important landscape should have been chosen.
