Breaking news: Italian MP, Sgarbi denounces the Statistical Fraud on COVID-19. The speech of the Member of Parliament Vittorio Sgarbi in the session of the Italian Camera, Meeting no. 331 of Friday 24, April, 2020. Vittorio Sgarbi, denounces the closure of 60% of the businesses for 25,000 COVID-19 Deaths, of which the National Institute of Health says 96.3% died NOT of COVID-19 but of other pathologies.

The only thing that can come good from this is that there will be tighter procedures for future heritage sites.<br />
I would love for the road to be re-routed ,its not going to happen though, the damage is done.<br />

I am repeating here a mail from an other site which is similar to the reply I received from the UNESCO concerning Tarawatch and the round table issue. This is important as it clearly shows that Tarawatch are misleading Tara campaigners.<br />

"Hi all,<br />
Mr Francesco Bandarin of UNESCO has given us permission to circulate his<br />
email response to our enquiry.<br />
I am reproducing it below, leaving out the name of the official from the<br />
Department. Muireann<br />
<br />
Dear Dr Muireann Ní Bhrolcháin<br />
<br />
Thanks for your message and for asking my view on this matter.<br />
While I always support conservation initiatives coming from civil<br />
society, I was surprised to see a statement with my name in the press<br />
release you mention.<br />
I only met Mr Salafia for 2 minutes in the Conference room while I was<br />
in Quebec, and cafter hearing his points I ommented that a meeting would<br />
have been useful to present his case -as it is obvious.<br />
I did not propose a "UNESCO initiative" or any other thing. I have the<br />
feeling that my comment has been abused and turned into something else.<br />
I have already explained this to Mr [.........] of the Ministry, and I have<br />
been told that Mr Salafia is not new to this kind of twisting.<br />
There is therefore no UNESCO initiative on this issue, and the press<br />
release is phoney.<br />
That said, please feel free to keep us informed on the situation.<br />
<br />
Sincerely<br />
Francesco Bandarin<br />

This is not the way to behave with such an organiation and will only make them less likely to listen to our viewpoint.<br />

By - Evan Short.<br />
<br />
Tara is to be on the agenda at an upcoming UNESCO workshop that will be held in Trinity College.<br />
<br />
UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation who designate world heritage sites will discuss the ongoing works around Tara and what needs to be done to turn the area into an area of special interest.<br />
<br />
The Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government John Gormley, is believed to be behind moves to turn the area into a world heritage site. The workshop format will involve a series of presentations from various local, national and international bodies, over a number of days.<br />
<br />
The impact on the integrity of Tara cultural landscape by the proposed M3 motorway will also form a part of the workshop. Government bodies such as the National Roads Authority and the Department of the Environment will be invited, alongside local pressure groups that are against the ongoing M3 development.<br />
<br />
Dr. Sarah Alyn Stacey from Trinity College she hoped all invited parties would take part in the workshop "This will be the first such workshop to take place in Ireland, and we hope that all of the stakeholders, including the Minister for the Environment, will participate fully". Vincent Salafia of TaraWatch said: "We are putting this matter into the hands of UNESCO now. The M3 is still two years away from completion, and we still hope that a compromise can be reached, which will preserve the complex and deliver the road".<br />

I have just heard that work has begun on the esker. There are three machines in<br />
the area today, probably started about 3 days ago.<br />
They have shaved off a portion of the esker on the road side of the<br />
large fence erected in March.<br />

...Francesco Bnadarin's comments show what a corrupt outfit these campaigners are.<br />
The country needs motorways to save the lives of the living. <br />
Nobody has ever shown any interst in this site until people saw a chance to get some self publicity from it.<br />
The campaign to save lives on the roads has suceeded in the case of the M50 and Glen of the Downs, in spite of all the opposition to these projects the tax paying public who financed them have no problem using them.To Frankhttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/87982#comment2340222008-08-10T21:32:24+00:00Siobhan RiceFrank, I believe your comments to be both misinformative, and unrepresentative o...Frank, I believe your comments to be both misinformative, and unrepresentative of the general public.<br />
Who in their right minds would opt to pay approx E2,000 a year just to get in and out of work, on a road that was previously free? These people have NO choice,to try to convey that the ordinary people of Meath are chomping at the bit to get a new motorway is simply fantasy.<br />
The vast majority are not aware of the huge price the tolls will take on their lives, and that of their children.

<br />
Under EU rules a Toll Road cannot be the sole road, there has to be an alternative road.<br />
<br />
In which case only those who can afford the Toll will use the M3.
