From Dr Muireann Ni Bhrolchain, Friday 18th May
''Hi all,
To keep you updated - this morning and throughout the day the Vigil and
some Campaign members stopped construction machinery from entering the
site at Roestown. This was the first real attempt at construction and it
was stopped. They simply sat in front of the machines. The Gardaí were
called but they judged that no law was broken and that they had a right
to stay. Which they did - all day. But this will continue all week and
they need to stopped until the election is over. The media was alerted
and some responded. Hopefully there will be photographs in one or two
tomorrow. I would like to express my personal thanks and admiration for
the actions taken today.
On another note, the leafleting is going very well but we could do with
more people involved. Thank you to those from previous groups and
campaigns who are helping. Your local knowledge is invaluable. I'm sure
that people will be pleased to hear that the response in general is
incredibly positive and the public believes that the road should now be
re-routed as a result of the discovery of the henge.
There has been quite a lot of media coverage again over the last few
weeks as is clear from all the posts here".
You can support us by attending:
'CELTIC SPIRIT: STAND UP TO CELTIC TIGER':

Fancy Dress- Celtic theme!
The Campaign to Save Tara is an umbrella group made of groups and
concerned individuals favouring the re-routing of the M3 Motorway
through the heart and soul of Ireland and encouraging the adoption of an
integrated transport system for Co. Meath.
At the moment and despite the opposing views of two thirds of the
population, despite the views of 350 academics and despite the fact that
ancient site after ancient site have been uncovered on the route, the
government's obstinacy insists on continuing with this disparaging and
disrespectful project.
We call on the Spirit of the Celtic People (by birth or by adoption) to
stand up to the ravaging and compulsive hunger of the Celtic Tiger, and
to support Tara as a symbol of open space, dignity and integrity.
