Tara update 06
the picket of the First Green Party All-Ireland
Conference at the Wellington Park Hotel was a Great Sucess !
- provisionally - in case any of the photos turn
out to be really embarassing
there ended up being only two of us which was
hardly impressive but in some ways worked quite well
as I sat outside swathed in banners and getting
myself photographed and interviewed and Jane inside the building talking mainly about
squirrels I think
Some of the Greens were obviously not wildly
pleased at the attention we were getting at their first Thing
but at least some of them put a brave face and
said it was a sign of their Coming of Age as a Party to have Protestors of their
own
they were very nice about it
and in the end a lot of them were taking leaflets
and agreeing that Tara was of Central Importance after all

Jane asked the Minister as he got out of the car
if he would make the Temporary Protecton Order on Rath Lugh into a Permanent one
and I think he said " yes "
And I think he repeated it later inside the hall
in front of sixty people
but neither of us were there - Jane had gone off
to the Diversity march and I was too tired and dead with flu to move off the
front step
of course how important this Permanent Order is
depends on how Rath Lugh is defined .. but its certainly good rather than bad ;

Next Thing
the trip to the Causeway and Dunseverick /Dun
Sobhairce to explore the energy lines and connections with Tara and across the
water - Tommorow - Sunday
sorry - there probably WONT be a minibus - unless
ten people sign up for DEFinite before 10 am
there will be people going - but will probably
pile into one car
and reconnoitre the area of the North Coast
If anyone can get there please join us - it will
be good ; )
but what with one thing and another - I havent
done the bus thing properly with deposits and phone numbers etc
and my nerves wont take getting Eddie out and
just seeing how many turn up 8-|
huge apologies to the people who said they
certainly wanted to go but I didnt take numbers off -
Im a rubbish organiser and would rather make
banners and cant do both - so hope someone else will do it next time
but I have a feeling there WILL be a Next Time -
this isnt any more about only stopping the M3
there is more things happening
sometimes it feels like something good and
creative and anarchic is being woken up from Tara that wont go back in the box
right away - and everyone who gets caught up with it gets somehow
shiny
tho perhaps Im just tired and raving
8)
sorry if these updates are too frequent and too
like spam
the usual - - -
If you want off the list just email me- and Ill
take you off it
else - if you know anyone who would be interested
- please Pass it On and Spread the Tara Word
despite Optimism - it is Very urgent .... and
work on the M3 steams ahead - tho of course the railway doesnt
