- About Me:
- During the past several years, there has been an ongoing campaign in Ireland and globally to halt the destruction of a World Heritage site, the Hill of Tara. As of this writing, the construction of the M-3 Motorway has come to a standstill, with the recent discovery of a woodhenge the size of four football fields in Lismullen. While the discovery is investigated by archaeologists, the campaigners are diligently protesting the building of the motorway. We have included here some of the earlier news regarding the campaign, as well as more recent relevant happenings. We ask that you involve yourself at whatever level you feel most comfortable, and if you care about the antiquities of history, please know that the loss of yet another Sacred Heritage is at stake. Please, this is urgent. Forward this information to everyone you know who honors their memories.

An Open Letter To Bertie Ahern Regarding the M-3 Motorway Scheme.
With All Due Respect,
I have watched, since the Autumn of 2005, the continuing battle over the M3 motorway in the Tara/Skryne (Gabhra) Valley. I first became acquainted with the issue whilst my husband and I were on our way to the Dublin Airport the last day of our visit. It was then that we saw the “Archaeological” dig signs close by to the Hill of Tara, with “No Trespassing” written all over them. Upon our return to the U.S., I did a bit of investi… Continue
