Footage taken by an activist from Rathlugh at the former site of the Wooden Henge, now bulldozed.

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."

On Monday September 24th, thirty brave cultural conservationists donned face paints and headed off on a route walk from the Rath Lugh direct action camp. 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

While Tigger was balancing the tripod a group of us went over to Collierstown to stop on going work on the proposed M3 motorway.

This is an interview with Dr. Conor Newman - Head of Archaeology for this project. He discusses the impact of the destruction done to the Wooden Henge at Lismullen, and the possible damage that will   more...be caused to the rath at Rath Lugh.  less

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.
