Save the Hill of Tara

Please excuse if someone else already raised this issue. I couldn’t find a similar thread. I realize this probably pales in comparison to the tsunami event but it still bothers me.

I was googling for celtic symbols and ran across this petition to save the Hill of Tara. I can’t believe it! They want to put a 4-lane highway running right next to it. :angry:
Excuse my French but this really SUCKS! :moreevil:
I visited the Hill of Tara back in 2001 and even though the careless might think it’s just a bunch of mounds, it was really cool to me. Imagining the High King looking out over Ireland in all four directions; people trekking there to have justice metted out. Imagining the fires burning high on the Solstice night. And it’s still so beautiful and quiet all around there; when I was there, you still had to travel down narrow little lanes, and get lost a couple of times before you found it. It would make me so sad to think it gone (with a 4-lane highway next to it, it might as well be). The leaders of Ireland had better pull their heads out of their _sses! :swear:
Please sign the petition below if you value any Celtic culture at all!

The place is in the way of today’s progress just like the relics of the old were in the way of the High King and cronies.
