Battle of Tara not over

Dear sir - It seems a bit premature in an election year to say that any issue is dead because of one court case.

It is up to the people of Ireland to decided whether the Tara/Skryne valley and Meath's reputation as the Home of the High Kings is worth preserving.

I have no objection to millions of dollars being spent to upgrade Meath's road and rail systems. In fact alternatives that would save Meath road users thousands on yearly tolls while getting them home as quick have been suggested.

To this end, we have started a resource web site to be used in the Save Tara campaign to get the M3 moved from its current route so near to the Hill of Tara.

Our start up campaign will be "TARA 5000 Years 1 Election".

While 70 per cent of the population believes that the M3 should be moved away from the historic Tara/Skryne valley our politicians appear to have forgotten we live in a democracy. We'd like to send them a timely reminder.

The Battle of Tara is in the hands of the voters. To donate your vote to the Tara cause and make it an election issue, please go to www.tuathadedannan.org/vote.php.

Yours,

Pauline Bleach,
