How wonderful! These two events promise to be spectacular in calling attention to what is happening at Tara. We are very honoured to have such talented people highlighting Tara and it's plight. I think it worked out really well that both events will occur in the same weekend! A Tara Weekend! This should generate great publicity. Huge THANK YOU to all involved, wonderful!

What a wonderful event today was and congratulations to the organisers Laoise and Ann Marie. They got the harpers there with all sizes of harps. It was magical to hear the music outside the Dáil - I hope it reverberates around the world. They got the crowds there but even more importantly, they got more media than I have ever seen at a Save Tara event.

The pictures say it all - the harpers just kept arriving!

It was just wonderful to have the legendary Paddy Maloney present to speak and to play - not the harp - but that was allowed. He is Paddy Maloney after all! He spoke of people asking him world wide what was going on in Ireland and what was the Government at?

Just as Laoise was going to wind up, John Quigley and Stuart Townsend were spotted. Stuart had not really planned on speaking but he did, passionately as usual, and he plugged the Meath Master Plan. The creators were listening, Brian Guckian and Tadhg Crowley who presented their plan in Meath on Thursday night. They also presented it in Dublin at the end of August.

I'm sure Sidonie Goossens would have been proud that in instrument which was almost forgotten has now found not only so many skilled practioners but that they are working to save our heritage.

Well done to all the organizers and participants of the event. Some of th colourful characters currently encamped on the Hill added a special flair to the event. Seno portraying the Green Man, Taurus as usually being himself and Tara Cannon once again successfully slipping in to the role of the Poison Dwarf. Well done to all of you.

Great to see things turned out so well at Tara! I wasn't able to go there but I attended the harpers' gathering in Dublin on Saturday - see also the post under Comment: 'Images from Love Tara 2'. What this event, and the otehrs that linked with it, signifies, is the desire of many of our artists to come together to save a national heritage spot. I would ask that Aosdána and the Irish Writers' Union be approached and asked to do the same thing; to make a gesture, by letter or statement to the press. It is the duty of poets to protest against such outrages as the one the Government would perpetrate at Tara. The powers-that-be got away with it 'way back when Wood Quay was the issue in Dublin. It should not happen again.

There is a new short film here on Tara and an interpretation of the decorations on the stone in the Mound of the Hostages.
