tree clearance starts at Tara – help please

6.1.07
Opponents of the new M3 motorway in Co Meath have mounted a demonstration in the Tara-Skryne valley today to protest at the felling of trees along the route of the proposed road.

The protestors are accusing the National Roads Authority of tearing down mature trees at several sites on the route, including the historic Rath Lugh area.

” in the Tara-Skryne warzone. Serious damage has been done to Rath Lugh, Ardsallagh and Soldiers’ Hill (Blundlestown). But we were able to slow down ongoing destruction work to a certain degree with “direct action ” messures.

The damage to Rath Lugh is the heaviest loss we had to accept. And I have the feeling tree felling and earth-removal from around Rath Lugh has not been concluded yet.

The only area still undamaged so far is a Coillte plantation known is Lismullin Woods near Rath Lugh. The Gabhra runs through those woods, and a base camp is under in the plantation to serve as last line of defence for our archaeological and historical heritage within the Tara – Skryne Valley.

Please, if you got the time, head out to this camp, or the nerve centre of the Vigil on Tara Hill, and play your role in our defensive war for our heritage and culture. Basic food supplies are always needed and welcome. ”
