VOTE FOR TARA!


The irish government, for reasons completely unfathomable, is bulldozing and destroying some of the most ancient and sacred landscape Ireland possesses, to build a motorway. Why are the government refuseing to listen to EU directives, why are they refuseing to listen to the people of Ireland and the rest of the committed campaigners who tirelessly represent the views of the majority by their physical presence at the Hill of Tara?
Are they too blind and ignorant to realise that they are shooting themselves in the foot? By destroying this most beautiful and mythical place, they are laying waste to millennia of culture, history, archaeology; surely the building blocks of a proud and poetic nation, and a heritage to positively exploit, in terms of tourism, and indeed pilgrimage. For thousands of years this most holy and sacred place has been the graves of our ancestors, the venue for ceremony and process of law, the crowning place of the Irish Kings for goddess sake! I cant shake the notion that there is more to this than meets the eye. The sheer bloody mindedness and deafness to public opinion stinks of something else beneath.
So my dear friends and all those who care that our past is of as little consequence as a bloody motorway, vote on the irish post website www.irishpost.co.uk and also drop a letter of protest at press@heritageaction.org , afterall what would happen if they decided to bulldoze Stonehenge and pile a dual carriageway through salisbury plain?
If you are ever fortunate enough to get across to Tara, the protesters camped there could always do with food and blankets etc, and im sure you can donate to the appeal.
Blessed be,
Sparkyxxxxx
