Disappearance of monument at Tara

The disappearance of the monument that once honoured those who fell at Tara in 1798 was reported (News, 27th. April).

Perhaps it was removed by a group of embarrassed government officials who couldn't stand to be reminded of their part in desecrating the graves the monument honoured. Is it a greater crime to remove the monument, or to unearth the bodies of over 100 warriors for the sake of shaving a few minutes off commute times? If the gardaí need a lead, they need look no further than the ongoing destruction works in the Tara-Skryne Valley, and when the Wexford Pikers pile into buses to investigate, may they head straight to Rath Lugh, where the modern patriots defending against tyranny have been illegally evicted from their sacred posts. Temair go bragh!
