Save Tara: Protestors Walk The Line, Direct Action Halts Construction

Thursday 16 August, protestors walked the route of the M3 motorway to view what destruction of the ancient sites in Tara Valley have already disappeared. Then they decided on a little direct action.

The International Cultural Conservationists were taken on a tour of the M3 Motorway route through the Valley of the Kings to witness firsthand the destruction that has already transpired.

But the stroll in the country, or the big muddy mess that once was 800 years of history, soon took the guise of some direct action, construction vehicle climbing and stalking nad even a few comical moments.

Text messages received informed that further action was taken today, Tuesday 4 September.

First was a major protest at Rath Lugh. Nine construction vehicles were occupied and surrounded.

The protest consisted of puppeteers, colourful costumes and song and dance.

Yesterday, Monday 3 September, five actions took place. One protestor was arrested and released on 50 Euro bail.

Latest reports on direct action.
