Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5So what happens if they find some sacred Native American site on Manhattan? Knock down New York and move it elsewhere? Why are leftists so obsessed about some spot where kings used to live? The motorway doesn't even go through the spot where they lived, just within a mile or so of it. What's so special about kings? The fact is that somebody used to live everywhere in Ireland a couple of thousand years ago. No matter where you build you'll be building on the spot where someone used to live. I'm sure there was a settlement in O'Connell Street in 500AD. I don't see that its irrelevant if they weren't kings, but simply Mr and Mrs Bloggs. What's sacred about Tara that couldn't equally be applied to the spot where my great great great great.........granny lived and was buried in 794AD.? There's a cinema on the spot now. Should I ask for it to be knocked down so she can sleep in peace? The anti-M3 campaign is simply an anti-roads campaign. If Tara didn't exist, they'd find some other excuse to oppose it: snails, trees...you name it. Dig a hole in any field in Ireland and you'll find a few bits of pottery or stones dating from Viking times or Norman times or whatever. Ireland needs motorways for its economy to prosper. That's the bottom line.
same garbage as tommy 'pots and pans' o'reilly
"Ireland needs motorways for its economy to prosper"
You mean NTR need big fuck off Toll Roads and FF need supporters with land that will magically multiply in value to prosper don't you?
do you own some prime land near the proposed interchange?
or haven't you got tricky dickys new talking points yet?
These ones you're following are too blunt and people all over are whispering about the naked corruption and greed of this as a result of such outbursts.
All those experts, historians, academics, and their strong support amongst everyday people - 'swampy style' road protesters. I wish they were but theyre not - they are called 'popular opinion'.
No nationwide polls by reputable organisations yet on this. Strange. Why?
this isn't a diatribe against roads that are needed... tara is a sacred centre whether you know it or not.
play devils advocate with yourself and go and camp on the hill for a night. maybe even at the solstice. see how you feel then.
What concerns me most is that major developers, who are also financial backers of Fianna Fáil, stand to make millions from this.
"A company controlled by multi-millionaire builder Joseph Murphy whose main business, JMSE, was exposed as corrupt the Flood tribunal owns valuable lands along the route.
So too does multi-millionaire Fianna Fáil backer Cathal McCarthy, who owns 12 acres at the most controversial interchange on the motorway right beside the sacred Hill of Tara. An additional 200-acre landbank beside the interchange site was transferred to the name of Mr McCarthy since April 2004."
its funny with campaigns like Tara how we like to put stuff into nice little boxes. Alot of the tara type people keep saying how theyre not against roads, but they want to save the sacred landscape. Im all for saving sacred landscapes, but im also for saving the environment.
Roads, roads, roads. And i am just trying to be realistic when i say this.
Roads=cars=oil=CO2=global warming=the planet is fucked.
How sacred will Tara be when its under the melt waters of the polar ice cap?
[How great will the fucking ecomony be for that matter?]
But i suppose the acedemics need to maintain their appearance of respectability. Being sensible "no were not against the roads -just the destruction of sacread landscapes" God forbit that theyed get political about it. God forbid theyed make some connections about how capitalism is fucking everything over instead of insisting of keeping within their little heritige box.

fuck you all I'm dick fucking roche and i am obeying orders from the dark side
