TaraWatch encourages the public to attend, and ask questions such as:
- Why is there no independent archaeologist's are allowed to inspect any
of the 38 sites that have already been uncovered?
- How many more new sites have been discovered?
- Why should the NRA to be the body to decide what is and what is not a national monument?
- We also wish to remind the NRA and the public that the following experts have opposed the current works:

...and hundreds of other archaeolgists worldwide have objected to the works now being carried
out.
The majority of Irish people against them too.
Finally, are also very concerned about their use of heavy machinery, ie mechanical diggers, which we believe is against the Code of Practice.
Let's make this a concerted effort.
