How did this ‘imeddyhobbs’ know about the planned attack on the Protectors of Tara at Rath Lugh at 16 minutes past midnight last night? Is operation bedrock leaking?
I liked your list of possible tunnel uses and want to add another:-
the safe storage of unread and undistributed copies of the Lisbon Treaty.
"Look, we're not a bunch of anarchists trying to get rid of corporate greed. We're just trying to save this valley. I don't know if I want to live in a world that doesn't have places like Tara in it"
We're quite happy to live in a world without Tara if we could end corporate greed in fact capitalism and whole shibang. What use is protecting something like Tara while we're stuck working long jobs for crap pay feelin alienated from the world around us.
You have just contradicted yourself Kilkenny Boy. Fight against the destruction of Tara and you fight against corporate greed. Wakey Wakey. You have much to learn.
