PPP is signed, the road is due to begin on Monday
One of the activists from the Hill of Tara vigil camp has sent a message
to activists and people who are in solidarity with the desire of the campaign
to Save Tara to support the vigil:
A Legal challenge , today, failed to put a stop to the PPP, and the works
are to begin in earnest in 72 hours. There are possibly some options to challenge
the issue but a lot have been worn out , the vigil campaign is quite small and very
dedicated. They have asked for support in the form of tech for evidence, and solidarity
protests in the next couple of days.
The legal challenges have been catalogued on the indymedia site, approaches to
environmental cases are tied down within legislations which favour and are based on
the tri-partite PPP process.
There are options and challenges but they are limited to a 72 hour period.
The vigil therefore (which is independent of leadership and non-hierarchical)
want people to be prepared to come down to the Hill of Tara and act as witnesses,
support and ye can do a bit of blockading too if you want.
Most of the vigil are at the camp all the time and have not come into Dublin a lot
to meet with people and discuss the issues, but a lot of you would have met
them at the various celebrations and protests- especially in Navan and around the
major festivals of the last year.
* Also its good to have photographic evidence in the case of any kind of bullying
or harassment of NVDA and peaceful protest.
*Food is also good.
*Rights knowledge and independent witnesses are good too.
******Will update if some group manage to injunct against works within the next three days.
