Save Tara: Blockading the archaeologists

Friday 17 August, the International Culture Conservationists joined the Save Tara campaign in a human blockade to stop the construction company-backed archaeologists from entering the site.

At 6.30am people rose on the camp to hit the road to the Lismullen Henge early. Using their own bodies they stopped all traffic entering the site.

The human blockade was cheerful and full of good spirit. But when the Garda arrived one officer grabbed a protestor and attempted to throw him over the wall of a bridge.

Text messages received just now, Thursday 6 September, said more internationals have arrived at Tara, tripods and lock-ons are in place at Rath Lugh.
