Tara Demonstration – July 1st

TaraWatch will send a delegation to the Oireachtas, the Irish Houses of Parliament, in a bid to get Opposition parties to confront the Government on their mishandling of the M3 motorway, which is slicing the Tara Complex in half.

Questions will relate to Minister for the Environment, John Gormley’s failure to nominate Tara as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as promised, this week the UNESCO World Heritage Committee meeting in Seville.

It’s been a bad week Mr. Gormley selling your soul and putting a “concrete dagger through the heart of Tara”
