Day of Action for Tara
Tuesday 3rd March 09
Non Violent Direct Action against M3
Peaceful Protest :)
Despite worldwide opposition and EU Legislation, the illegal constuction of the M3 motorway through Tara is still ongoing.
We are calling for the people of Galway, the county of the Tribes, to come and show their support, to see the Tara Skryne Valley as it is now. Despite the scarring already inflicted at Tara, one of the MOST ARCHAEOLOGICALLY SIGNIFICANT LANDSCAPES in the world, it is still a beautiful place steeped in ancient history, folklore and living traditions.
Archaeological discoveries of global significance have been destroyed, and the information misrepresented and lost, despite international law, and the investigations of the World Archaeological Congress 08. THIS LOSS WILL BE FELT IN IRELAND FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.
We call on the Irish people to show that their CULTURE, IDENTITY, AND HERITAGE IS NOT FOR SALE to multinational construction companies, and to show their support for the Meath Master Plan, a more economically, environmentally, and culturally cost effective alternative.

The European Commission has warned the Irish Government that its plans to build the M3 four-lane motorway through the archaeologically rich Tara-Skryne valley are illegal within European law. The commission is taking proceedings against the Government.
The Tara landscape has been placed on the World Monuments Fund of most endangered sites.
We are also aware of a joint letter signed internationally by more than 300 academics stating that the royal estate of Tara is not just a central part of Irish heritage, but is of significant importance on a world heritage scale.
We, the undersigned members of the European Parliament, are alarmed at the Irish Government's destruction in July 2007 of the large early medieval settlement site at Baronstown in the Tara-Skryne valley. Most shockingly, this important archaeological site was demolished by motorway construction workers in the middle of the night.
We also wish to express our deep concern about the future of the Celtic temple at Lismullin - a site with national monument status which is also planned to be demolished by the Irish Government.
Urgent action is needed to urge the Irish Government to prevent the destruction of more of our common European heritage.
As was the case at Baronstown, and as is planned for Lismullin, thousands of years of our shared European culture can be wiped out in a few hours, and once gone, can never be replaced.
Given that the path of the planned M3 motorway is so rich in important archaeological monuments, we strongly urge the Irish Government to alter the current motorway route and to choose from the other available routes and viable options for the M3 motorway instead, thereby balancing progress with conservation.
It is of the utmost importance that steps be taken to prevent the destruction of any further ancient monuments which are part of our shared European heritage. We believe the Tara landscape should be preserved fully intact as the European cultural and heritage treasure that it so clearly is.

Stephen Cooney Born in Melbourne, Australia, Steve started his professional musical career at the age of 17, playing for a while in the US before returning home, where he was in a number of rock bands, (Bushwackers, Fruitcake) and the successful folk/rock band, Red Gum. In 1981 he bought a one-way ticket to Ireland, from where his ancestors had come, where he busked and worked odd jobs for a few months, before joining Stockton's Wing as bassist with whom he stayed until 1981. Since then he has popped up all over the place, with a major contribution to Sharon Shannon's first album, and performances and recordings with Dermot Byrne, Altan, Martin Hayes and others. While guitar, and rock guitarists have raised eyebrows in trad Irish music in the past, Cooney is no noise machine. His technique is excellent, and his understanding of traditional music and accompaniment is attested to by the number of traditional groups and albums he has contributed to. less Tags: tara irish heritage Category: People Views: 102 Comments: 1 Added: Feb 25, 08 By: johnbarney | |  |  | | road 01:46road Tags: road Category: Comedy Views: 11 Comments: 0 Added: Feb 9, 08 By: semenoff | |  |  | | Joaquin Phoenix at quotReservation Roadquot LA Premiere 02:06The stars of Reservation Road, a story of two families coming together from tragedy, were at the film's Los Angeles premiere.

Film director and actor Stuart Townsend, fresh more...from the highly successful aerial photograph on the hill attended by an estimated 3,000 people on Sunday, arrived with four massive bags of shopping for Tara’s soldiers before everyone set off. Stuart’s continuing support is massively appreciated! Once on route activists erected barricades along the paths of the diggers and bulldozers to slow destruction work. Activists proceeded to Baronstown where seven to eight diggers were occupied, climbed and danced upon. The walk continued as our merry band arrived at Collierstown, an ancient Fenian graveyard. The two diggers working when we arrived were quickly halted with people climbing into buckets of diggers, onto roofs and onto their tracks. Songs were sung and people danced. Work was halted for half an hour before scouts indicated that machinery was working up ahead at Trevet. We headed there and on the way occupied another digger. The driver of this digger refused to turn off his engine despite the fact that activists occupied his machine, a clear violation of health and safety laws and a sackable offense. Our next stop was Trevet, where one bulldozer was prevented from working by activists. It was then that the Gardai made their appearance. Taking some of our group aside, names were taken and no further action occurred. As our walk was slightly behind schedule, when Garda officers approached we decided to pick up the pace, keeping twenty to forty feet between ourselves and the law. Officers continued to follow us for another 100 metres before heading back the way they came. Having stopped work for hours it was near dinner time so we headed back to base camp. Throughout the day as we passed the sacred sites in the path of the proposed motorway short talks were given about the historical and archaeological significance of each site. No one was arrested and a great day was had by all. The campaign to protect Tara from the money mad mile continues picking up pace after the phenomenal success of the international Harpists for Tara event and John Quigley's stunning aerial photography. Every Monday route walks will continue. Completion of the M3 through the Tara Valley is years away and there is everything to play for! Be at the Tara Solidarity Vigil camp on the hill by 9.30 am or at Rath Lugh by 10.00am. Please come, please support and network! less Tags: tarapixie save tara Category: News Views: 591 Comments: 2 Added: Oct 1, 07 By: tarapixie | |  |  | | JP gets a visit from the Garda 01:09Hill of Tara Car Park 01-09-07 - JP talks about his visit by the Garda.
