'Cú Chulainn's remains are buried in the Tara valley, the Fianna fought their last battle there and were decimated, according to lore. The symbology of Cú Chulainn would be put to better use Saving Tara in Croke Park than selling a brand of stout.' read full story / add a comment

In the Supreme Court on the 21st December 1972, Cearbhall Ó Dálaigh delivered judgment on the legality of the compulsory purchase by the State of a site below the four hundred feet contour lines on Tara. In the judgement, he stated: 'the Hill of Tara is properly to be regarded as a single unified site and not a series of separate archaeological monuments.' read full story / add a comment

It was while returning from such a Ritual of Protection, as I walked, reflecting on the sacred hills of Tara and nearby Skryne, that I was seized with a sudden insight or intuition: that the little-known stream that runs between these hills was made to run north. read full story / add a comment

The brutal physics of modern traffic was borne in on me in a raw way standing by the busy Navan road just north of Tara yesterday evening (Mon 25th July) for an hour while the latest protest against the proposed new motorway was in progress. This is an experience you don’t get driving along in your Toyota Corolla. read full story / add a comment

Christmas Day 1900 and across the Hill of Tara in Co Meath, a man and a woman may be seen walking, a sense of purpose influencing their actions. Flamboyant nationalist Maud Gonne in the company of Arthur Griffith, editor of the United Irishman and future co-founder of Sinn Féin, are inspecting recent damage done to the ancient monument site. read full story / add a comment

Más Ó nó Mac thú, in ainm Naomh Phádraig tabhair cabhair do Teamhar. Tara was Ireland's capital. Fenians died there in 1798. Early Sinn Féin members including Artur Griffith saved it 100 years ago from the digging of the British Israelites. The coronations stone of sorts, the stone of Destiney Liafáil is there to this day. What is Sinn Féin about if it isn't about protecting Ireland's most historic site, the hill and valley of Tara? It's about time the party repeated what its members did 100 years ago. The Daily Ireland has already criticised Sinn Féin members for not doing more. Now is the the time to stop the history of Ireland's most important valley being dug up by 22 ton Excavators. Contact 44 to let them know that you support Saving the Tara Valley. read full story / add a comment

There will be a protest at the site that they are excavating just north of Tara (marked clearly by signs) right hand side of the N3 on the way from Dublin to Navan - just where the gate is. Monday 25th 6.45pm. That is the time that people feel they can be available. Can people be there? Presence where your keyboard is ... Be there if you care. Get your political party/ group to get representatives there. There is no better time to show your disgust at what the Government is doing to our country. This is true whether it be the Rossport 5, Tara, Waterford, wind farms in the wrong place ... read full story / add a comment

No Organiser, just a time and a date to be there. As it appears that the Tara issue is being hi-jacked at times, and that some people have a problem being associated with particular groups, a non-alligned protest is planned for 7.30pm on Thursday 28th of July at the site of the Tara dig, beside the Tara na Rí pub. All and everybody welcomed provided their interest is in genuinely saving the Tara valley, rerouting of M3 and ending the digging. To make it easy for everyone, the protest will be at 7.30pm meeting at the Tara na Rí pub beside the current dig site. read full story / add a comment

Recent media reports show that Hill of Tara is clearly visible from the site of the M3 Tara Interchange. It also appears that heavy mechanical diggers are being used in the excavation of the Tara valley. Many in Meath are concerned that the visual impact of this M3 Interchange at Tara may have a detrimental effect on the appeal of Tara, both as a heritage site and a tourist venue. Time and time again, the crucial question of whether the M3 and the Blundelstown Tara Interchange would be visible from the hill of Tara has been raised. And as many times, both the government and the NRA have stated categorically that the M3 would not be visible from the hill. However, it is now entirely evident that this massive interchange at the foot of the Hill will indeed be visible from Tara, and this now poses grave questions. read full story / add a comment

A small portion of the cleared area. Ironically, the nearest part of the Intersection hasn't been started yet, though some work has happened behind the trees. read full story / add a comment
