Conservationists angry at what they call,'The desecration of Ireland's cultural heritage' laid siege to a Trim hotel yesterday (Friday) where transport minister Noel Dempsey celebrated another government   more...decentralisation project.
Some of the 40 Tara M3 protestors dodged security to enter the rear of the Knightsbrook Hotel and golf resort where the reception was taking place,
At one point catering staff - some Polish - were sent to confront them.
Earlier, 10 conservationists harangued the veteran politician as he left the construction site for the new Office of Public Works, where he had turned the first sod.
His day was further spoiled when it was discovered that two tyres of his ministerial Merecedes had been let down.
A spokesman for Tara Solidarity Vigil said: "The graves of the ancient Fianna have been bulldozed, the bones dug up and the remains are still awaiting re-interment to their original resting place.
"It is blatant grave robbery and Irish people should be disgusted,
"Imagine if Glasnevin (Dublin) had a proposed motorway going right through it in 2000 years time.
"The aim was not to scare Mr Dempsey but to have a chance to communicate our concern at his lack of interest in an alternative, cheaper M3 route avoiding the Tara Skyrne Valley where there is potential for valuable tourism for generations to come.
"This proposed UNESCO World Heritage Park will thus be an asset to the people of Ireland."

The Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya or Ayutthaya in short, is one of Thailand's historical and majestic highlights. Serving as the Thai capital for 417 years (1350 1767: Kingdom of Ayutthaya), it was once glorified   more...as one of the biggest cities in Southeast Asia. During the 17th century, most foreign visitors to Ayutthaya, traders or diplomats alike, claimed Ayutthaya to be the most illustrious and glittering city that they had ever visited. The map of Ayutthaya published in 1691 by Simon de la Loubere in Du Royaume De Siam is proof of such recognition.

The Kingdom of Ayutthaya reached its apex in terms of sovereignty, military might, wealth, culture, and international commerce in the 16th century when the Kingdoms territory was extended far beyond present-day Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar. Ayutthaya even had diplomatic relations with Louis XIV of France and was courted by Dutch, Portuguese, English, Chinese and Japanese merchants.
Visitors can explore and appreciate Thai history in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, which is situated only 86 kilometers north of Bangkok. Visitors to Ayutthaya can marvel at its grandeur reflected through numerous magnificent structures and ruins concentrated in and around the city island surrounded by Maenam Chao Phraya, Maenam Pa Sak and Maenam Lopburi.

More importantly,Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Historical Park, an extensive historical site in the heart of Ayutthaya city, has been included in UNESCO's World Heritage list since 13 December, 1991.

Tembi is the name of a small village south of Yogyakarta. This name was eventually adapted to become a cultural institution ERumah Budaya Tembi- or “Cultural house TembiE This institution is run by   more...people, who want to preserve their culture and it’s cultural history, and therefore they created an open house for cultural activities.

Culture in this context has to be understood within a two-dimensional concept.

Firstly, we can view culture as a system of heritage. The products of a time long past, for example the Borobodur Temple north of Yogyakarta and the old manuscripts that can still be found.

Secondly, culture as a system of production, which means that every generation has the right or the obligation to create a form of culture, which becomes the environment of their lives.

From these two ways of viewing culture, the vision and mission of the “Rumah Budaya TembiE develop.
