Ahern's action on Tara questioned

The Irish Emigrant - Articles

To the editor: As the outgoing Irish Taoiseach speaks to the U.S. Congress in Washington, I would ask the American people to bear in mind the legacy that this man is leaving behind him here in Ireland. Something may be known here in the United States about the question mark that hangs over his financial dealings, and the American public may have heard a little about the disgraceful Health Service that he has brought about over the last 10 years. However, what may not be so well-known is the travesty that is taking place in the Tara Skryne Valley, beside the world-renowned Hill of Tara, spiritual home of millions of people with any Irish blood in their veins. The Irish government, led by Bertie Ahern, are building a four-laned motorway through the Tara Skryne Valley, with a 52-acre interchange only a mile from the foot of the Hill of Tara. This interchange is to be floodlit 24-hours-a-day, and one can only imagine with horror the develpment that will follow the building of this road. - MORE
