An
advanced
development plan that solves the current legal, environmental and
heritage issues around the controversial M3 motorway, and which also
provides a wider model for sustainable economic, heritage and tourism
development in Meath.
The innovative plan, which has
been briefed to the public, facilitates
the designation of the region as a UNESCO World Heritage site,
resulting in the preservation, protection and sustainable management of
the archaeology in the valley while bringing a potential increase of
€75 million in tourism revenue per annum. Development in the
designated
region would be eco-designed and promoted on a small scale, in line
with recent guarantees by the Minister for the Environment to protect
the unique character of the area.
