Tomorrow at 5.30am there is a protest meeting at Rath Lugh which will proceed to Roestown.

Heavy earthworks have moved into the Roestown site.

The other thread: 'Lismullin, A most amazing Henge' has more details under comment by Dr Muireann Ni Bhrolochain.

This is a general callout for support and was put on here to remind people that the issue is ongoing and not all smoke and mirrors, lectures and BBC Scotland.

Please come out and support the protest- ignore the pretty picture above and the avatar who is more interested in career than fighting for heritage!

As you well know, 'other thread', Tarawatch responded to an SOS that the Vigil sent out last week, only to have their efforts to help thrown back at them. That is no way to run a campaign, sacrificing heritage so that certain factions may promote agendas. If you people stopped being such paranoid hysterics and learned to cooperate with other groups, then maybe we would all get somewhere when it comes to saving Tara.

Some dignity please.

Can both factions not work together for the good of Tara.

Every campaign in this country has an element of political ambition. In itself its not an issue so long as the energy is focussed at the campaign.

Yes we need picket line protests - but on their own very little will be achieved. There are thousands of examples of failed pickets in recent years.

High level international campaining with the spotlight on international shaming of the government is vitally important.

Also it is important to APPEAR to have a UNITED FRONT -divided they fall etc...
