Invite to Tara

C Murray | 01.03.2007 19:03 | Ecology


The last in a series of legal challenges against the road through the
Tara -Skyrne valley has failed today. There are 72 hours left before the
road works which will not alone bisect the historic valley, but place a
land grab and ugly planning in and around the whole area will commence.
And Yes the process was corrupt.

What you can do:

The vigil keepers are peaceful NVDA protestors.
Some are quite young.
They are very isolated.

They have asked for support, so if you are visiting Ireland in the next weeks
you could come with cameras and food and even help in blockades.

The Irish Gardai are not known for their patience.
[as we have seen and indeed experienced in both Rossport and
The Glen Of the Downs]

The vigil is peaceful and non hierarchical and they are very
welcoming of people who come to support them especially if ye bring
biscuits to have with the cup of tea at the vigil fire.

*There are 72 hours left to legally stop the road.
the PPP has been signed.
Works are due to commence on Monday.
Messages of solidarity are welcome.

The group though it best to ask for help and to warn everyone that if
you want to help- now is the time.

Gur a Mhaith agat!
