An application will be made to the High Court today for leave to challenge a decision by the Minister for the Environment, Dick Roche, to clear the way for construction of the M3 motorway.

A campaigner against the motorway will seek to test the validity of the Minister's directions under the National Monuments Act in relation to 38 archaeological sites.

The proceedings are also against Meath County Council.
