Have the Greens had much involvement in the "Save Tara" campaign to date?
I was at one demonstration in Dublin, and it was more a SF dominated event
Ciaran Cuffe supports the movement. This would be the last political throw of the dice for the campaign. They may have to divert it based upon archaeological evidence at the moment, Green support could be crucial.
This is one of the only reasons why I support the Greens going in with FF
Labour supported the movement too didn't they? I'll take it anyway I can get it.
Stop shouting! I think that the plight of Tara could be highlighted now.
The other way of looking at this is 4 out of 6 Meath TDs are from Fianna Fail so the people of Meath support building the road, or at least don't care about it enough to vote for anyone else.

Too many people with significant influence in FF have interests in land on that side of the hill. Why else do you think the NRA changed the route from the preferred one to one that is 3 kms longer?
As we saw with Carrickmines, when the choice between locating the roundabout on private land, or on the Castle site, that the influence of these people takes priority every time.
"Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest." Mark Twain
“When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes. Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain.” Napoléon Bonaparte
