Jump To Comment: 1 2 3Mr Chief Justice John L Murray dismissed the case, ruling in favour of a previous High Court decision.
That judgment rejected Mr Dunne’s bid to stop construction of the motorway over the ruins of the castle because it was unconstitutional and against EU directives.
The court ruled it could not accede to either application and it cleared the way for work to continue.

I think that this an appalling decision for the knock on effect that it will have on Tara.
It makes it even more difficult to convince the politicians that the road should be moved.
A huge effort must be made by everyone who cares at this stage to make this an issue in the next 10 months.
Muireann is right
there's a knock on effect to this
Pro-Tara people need to come together and sideline their disputes and other nonsense.
Recently UNESCO ( http://whc.unesco.org/ ) announced more World Heritage sites
Tara was not on that list - why? Not because it is not worthy - but because countries are only awarded the honour if they apply.
Needless to say, the present Irish government does not want to submit the Tara Skryne Valley to UNESCO because some people are going to make a lot of money off of a motorway - which also means that a lot of other people are not going to make money off of low impact tourism and the like.
Tara should not be reduced to an economic argument - its value goes well beyond that.
But Ireland is consistantly shooting itself in the foot by bulldozing sites like Carrickmines Castle and the Tara Skryne Valley and others.
