[Stones] [Fwd: Tara update and destruction of an ancient Greek tomb]

[Thelma Wilcox]

The latest statement from Save Tara is drawing attention to the fact that the tunnel is looking very dangerous, the timber uprights are slipping slightly, whatever one feels about tunnel digging by protestors, the girl who is living down there is brave, considering the fragile nature of  the esker.

M3 Protesters warn Gardai tunnel 'Will Collapse'

A young woman has vowed to seal herself into the tunnel under the
 proposed route
of the M3 near the Hill of Tara in Co. Meath.

Protesters were today frantically trying to communicate to the Gardai,
the fragile nature of the soil in the Rath Lugh area, and that any
movement of heavy machinery in the vicinity of the Rath will collapse
the tunnel, with possible fatal consequences.

Minister Gormley issued a permanent protection order on the Monument
last week. However, neither the Department of the Environment nor the
Land Registry have been able to supply detailed maps of the protected
zone. Protesters claim that the ongoing site works associated with
construction of the M3 Motorway are endangering the stability of the
esker upon which Rath Lugh is built.

The Gardai were today asked by senior figures in the Save Tara
 campaign,
to do all they could to protect the welfare of the young female
protester, and in no circumstances allow the NRA or any of their
contractors move heavy machinery in the vicinity.

'Any eviction attempt by unqualified and inexperienced personnel is
likely to end in failure, with possible catastrophic consequences.
 There
are specialist tunnel rescue crews that need to be consulted before any
attempt is made to end this protest.' Claimed Michael Canney today.
