1916 Proclamation was read out at Tara before GPO

Tradition of Resistance

From the IRBB website

I've just been reading in an excellent lecture by Brendan Myers, Dept. of Philosophy, UCG., that the Proclamation was read out on the Hill of Tara before it was read out at the GPO. Does anyone have any more information about this?

I see those valiant citizens who today stop the Gombeen bulldozers with their own bodies stand in a long and proud tradition. From the same lecture:

Some of Ireland's most noteworthy public figures in the
late 19th to early 20th century, including Arthur Griffith, Maude Gonne,
W.B. Yeats, George Moore, and Douglass Hyde, all protected Tara from being
excavated by the British Isrealite Association by physically interposing
themselves between the monuments of the hill and the bulldozers sent
there to demolish them. The British Isrealites were looking for the
Arc of the Covenant, which they thought was buried under the earthworks
now known as the Rath of the Synods.
