Tara

[Unedited]

http://www.protect-tara.org/

Tara, an essential part of Irish and European heritage, is in very great danger. The Irish Government is planning a four-lane motorway only 1 km from the actual hill, with a 25 acre floodlit (10 hectares) intersection only 1.5km away. Full construction work is scheduled to begin at the end of 2005. All archaeological and historical evidence shows that Tara throughout time has been inseparable from the land around it. Tara is constituted by its surrounding landscape, not just the hill. Leading archaeologists say that the entire Tara landscape should by rights be declared a World Heritage Site.

I just thought I'd bring this to the attention of anyone who cared and has yet to hear about it. If you do care, you may wish to check out the online petition (http://www.petitiononline.com/Temair/petition.html).

Also, I'd like to hear some personal opinions on the matter if you have them.

Money makes the world go around, they say. But why does it have to step on the toes of heritage? I'm interested, unedited, have you any connection to Ireland ?

Edit; Oh, and yes, I signed the petition.

Thank you for taking the time. I do have some Irish blood running through me, but no direct connection. I really didn't know about Tara until I heard what they're planning to do to it. I just think it's wrong.

I am with you there, although I knew nothing about 'Tara' until your post.
