DAY OF ACTION FOR TARA
TUESDAY 3RD MARCH 09
NON VIOLENT DIRECT ACTION AGAINST M3
PEACEFUL PROTEST ☺
Despite EU Rulings to stop work on the illegal M3 motorway through Tara, destruction continues... The
people of Meath and Ireland are expected to pay €2,600 a year in TOLLS to use a motorway that destroys
the ancient graveyards, monuments and cultural landscape of Tara na Rí. Despite the scarring already
inflicted at Tara, one of the MOST CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT CELTIC LANDSCAPES in the world, it is still a
beautiful place steeped in ancient history, folklore and living traditions.
We are calling for the people of IRELAND, wearing your County Colours, to come to Tara na Rí
Níl neart go cur le chéile
(There is no strength without coming together)
COME SHOW YOUR COUNTY'S STRENGTH AND GIVE SUPPORT FOR THE MEATH MASTER
PLAN, A MORE ECONOMICALLY, ENVIRONMENTALLY, AND CULTURALLY COST EFFECTIVE
ALTERNATIVE.- AND SHOW THE WORLD THAT IRISH CULTURE, IDENTITY, AND HERITAGE
IS NOT FOR SALE TO MULTINATIONAL CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES.
IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR TARA
Bring friends, family, warm waterproof clothes, boots, packed lunch, costumes, banners, instruments,
cameras and county colours

There is the biggest threat to Tara... as soon as you have a motorway
interchange you have to have a business park. It's written somewhere
in
the Irish Manual of How to F**k up the Countryside that each County
Council
keeps under there collective pillows.

Curse of Tara Strikes Again ....?

[Another one of the ministers involved directly in the destruction of
Tara.]

Cullen
helicopter in emergency landing
Monday, 2 March 2009 16:46
A helicopter
carrying Minister for Tourism Martin Cullen was forced to
make an emergency
landing in Killarney this afternoon.
Mr Cullen had just finished addressing
the annual conference of the
Irish Hotels Federation and the Air Corps AW
139 had taken off from the
grounds of the Malton Hotel in Killarney.
The
left-hand side door of the helicopter fell off at a height of 500ft
as it
flew over Killarney National Park at Castlerosse outside the
town.
The helicopter made an emergency landing nearby at
Killarney Golf and
Fishing Club.
No one was injured in the
incident.
Eye witnesses say Mr Cullen, who was flying with an assistant and a
crew
of three, was shaken following the incident.
He has since continued
his journey by road to Kerry Airport from where
he is expected to get a
flight back to Dublin.
The Defence Forces said in a statement that the
aircraft is on the
ground until a Military Airworthiness Inspection Team and
technicians
from Air Corps HQ, Casement Aerodrome, Baldonnel examine
it.
This team will fly to Kerry to assess the helicopter and it will be
moved after the inspection.
The passengers had boarded the helicopter
through the right hand side
door before take off.
The same helicopter
brought Minister Cullen from Waterford to Killarney
this morning and was
returning to Dublin when the incident occurred.
According to the Defence
Forces, the AW 139 can fly with doors open
under certain speeds, but this is
normally in military and winching roles.
