Greens betray Tara for power - their 30 pieces of silver

[Cael]

Looks like the Greens are preparing to collaborate in the destruction of Tara to enrich a few FF Gombeens, otherwise its unlikely Sargent would be going. A sad day for Ireland.

agreed cael, i cant believe they feel they got an acceptable deal.

[Insider2007]

So the Greens sold out Tara for their mercs. And not just Tara, but their credibility, honesty and integrity. And come the next the election most of the seats also.

If you have to ask, you really haven't a clue about the location at all. The entire Tara-Skyrne Valley is an archaeological unit filled with sites that can only be understood, explored, and in the future potentially utilised for tourism purposes, as a collection. Running a massive motorway through what is believed to be the most sensitive archaological location in western Europe, and one of the most important worldwide, is madness. It involves in one action the greatest degree of environmental change in that sensitive location since the Ice Age, given the amount of earth works involved. It would create environmental pollution, transport pollution, noise pollution and light pollution at the most sensitive location imaginable.

The M3 is needed. The only issue is the location. It should have been planned to be around the valley. Running a motorway through that environment is the equivalent of running a motorway through Merrion Square and insisting that a six lane motorway would make no difference to the city's most famous Georgian square.

if this is true then there should be nothing between tara nd the site its archeologocally linked to - newgrange - approximately 15 miles away - so wht about villages like kentstown, duleek, donore etc are thse not built on archeologically sensitive areas?

What has been going on in Meath is known. It has been suggested that in future years Meath will need its own Mahon tribunal to look into the shenanagans in the county. The M3 route is a part of that.

highly speculative and groundless im not the one making allegations those spouting this kind of crap should put up or shut up. This was the longest planning process in the history of the country and carried out in full public view

If you say so.

The odd thing is that while Tara was always an important and signficant historical site, it only seems to have become the eighth wonder of the world since the M3 route was finalised.

All this talk about everything that people disagree with, automatically implying FF corruption is becoming quite tedious really ...
