Jump To Comment: 1 2What can we do to have our voices heard? This is getting out of order. I don't want to see Tara go. The public should know about this. Awarness needs to be raised. If anyone has any suggestions please e-mail me at jesjes1@msn.com. Thank you.
National media sucks but often its really really easy to access local media - which in turn get's the results. The politicians know this well, about time the activists copped on to. BELOW IS A 2 MINUTE PRESS RELEASE I THREW TOGETHER to support Tara from Donegal.
Tips (1) change details to always include mention on local county and local politicians (2) try and throw in the website details (www.indymedia.ie or whatever) (3) write in a real basic way and (4) put a contact no. on it.

PRESS RELEASE
‘Save Tara/Skryne Valley’ Campaign (Donegal)
ENTER PHONE NO.
March 05, 2004
Donegal politicians urged to ‘Save Tara’
Donegal based supporters of the ‘Save Tara/Skryne Valley’ campaign are urging the county’s politicians to do all the can to save one of the world’s most famous archaeological and spiritual sites from being destroyed.
In August 2003 An Bord Pleanála granted planning permission for a 50-km, €680 million motorway scheme through the valley between the Hill of Tara and the Hill of Skryne, in Co Meath. This valley is "chock-a-block" with monuments, many of which predate the Egyptian pyramids. The 12th-century Skryne Castle is also located in the valley.
The proposed Motorway, which is receiving strong Government backing, will split the valley in two and forever destroy one of Ireland’s most important religious and historical centres. Furthermore it will have a devastating impact upon the trees, animals and nature of the famed Boyne Valley.
The campaign to save the valley is heating up with a letter of protest from leading International academics appearing in editions of the Irish Independent and the Irish Times last week and a broad based network of campaigners vowing to stop the planned Motorway.
Alternatives to the Motorway include expanding the existing N3 in addition to reopening the Navan to Dublin railway line or simply relocating the proposed Motorway. However Environment Minister Martin Cullen, and other leading Fianna Fail TDs appear to be resolved to making the Motorway happen.
Tara merits International conservation measures, such as gaining UNESCO world heritage status, and not this short-sighted vandalism in the name of progress.
Donegal based campaigners will be stepping up the pressure on local TDs, Senators and MEPs by pressing them to act towards the immediate preservation of Tara. They will be promoting the Save Tara website www.savetaraskryne.org throughout the county and asking local people to become active and vocal in this issue of international importance.
