on Heritage destruction in ireland. There are many sites that have been
vandalised for profit, but the bisection of the Gabra Valley between the
Churches of Tara and Skryne is about the lowest form of abuse for
profit that most of us will ever witness.

A member of the campaign recorded them yesterday. They are over 700 collated
images of the digs and the back fill. there are bags of human and animal
bones that have been rolled over and crushed.
The campaign have been magnificent in their determination to expose the
corruption and protect their heritage and have faced up against tremendous
isolation of what they are trying to communicate here.

Some Hardware
More machinery
The contractors created a massive roadblock on the R125 on friday, by claiming that
one of the heavy vehicles had 'broken down, lost a key, or a key had been stolen'
there were five campaigners picketting the entrance to the huge construction site.
The resulting traffic chaos was not reported on mainstrem media in ireland.
instead of screaming and abuse and beeping, the whole area was absolutely silent.
The issue of this confrontation was to create and sustain a negative impact campaign
by the contractors on the people who had come to highlight the massive planning
and rezoning irregularities attendant on the tara planning issue and the corruption
process.
the stanoff lasted maybe 3/4 an hour.
its not good enough that multi-million euro corporate interests and the non-mandated
lobbies {IBEC/business.NRA./National Roads Authority} use and abuse democratic
systems to further the wealth of a minority.
The current administration are considering coalition with a Green Party!
Who are purportedly anti-war, anti-corporate, anti-business donation.
