"Squeak" set to resume her Tara
tunnel protest
By - Breda Heffernan.
A woman who spent three days in an underground tunnel in
a failed bid to halt construction of a motorway has vowed
to resume her subterranean protest.
Bicycle courier Lisa Feeney, also known as "Squeak", was
persuaded to leave the tunnel after coming to an
agreement with the National Roads Authority (NRA).
However with construction work resumed on the M3 at Rath
Lugh in Co. Meath, the 26-year-old has threatened to take
up her protest once more.
"There's a new plan and although I can't talk about it
yet, I know it will definitely bring the spotlight back
to Tara. Let's say the badgers have been at work which
means more tunnels", she said.
Protesters are demanding that the path of the motorway be
re-routed away from an esker at the historic fort at Rath
Lugh, sited two miles from the Hill of Tara.
Last month Ms. Feeney spent 60-hours holed up at the
bottom of a tunnel dug. Breda Heffernan
