Under the National Monuments Act, it is Mr Roche who has to give the go-ahead for the multi-million euro development as historic sites have been discovered along the proposed route.
A small group of protestors staged a demonstration outside the Dáil today as part of their ongoing campaign of opposition to the present routing of the motorway near the Hill of Tara.
