Jump To Comment: 1Hi,
I'm back!
This is pure nonsense. Ok he hasn't done it when he said he would do it. Haven't we all!!
But that doesn't mean he won't or isnt trying to.
We must wait to see what "List" he does submit....and that we will see very very soon. Like within this two weeks.
If Tara isn't on "the List" then thats' the time to campaign to have him and this inept, corrupt government removed. Lets not go off "half cocked".
We have to accept at this point that the issue of the M3 is lost. It's a done deal - built - end of story - we have lost - savetara.com are absolutely right on this point - the damage has been done - it's not repairable - there is no way all that work is going to be undone. We all need to face reality.
They will not simply undo all the construction and return the Tara Valley to what it was. It can't and will not happen.
Our best position is that he - John Gormley - succeeds - given the damage etc. - in persuading UNESCO to declare Tara and the Tara "landscap" a World Heritage site despite this damage.
How is what's left undamaged of Tara served if we campaign to have Tara NOT declared a World Heritage site? The developers will love to hear that.....talk about shooting yourself in the foot!
Like it or not we must support John Gormley's - and others - efforts to have Tara properly protected by being declared a World Heritage site. At this pont there is nothing left for us to do.
We all fought a galant campaign - and lost - with some dignity - but we lost. We can now save this area from future gererations folly by supporting the effort to make Tara a World Heritage site.
If we don't then we have failed Tara completely and we alone must live with that.
