Irish Internet Radio and TV from Dublin, Ireland.

Recently the Hill of Tara has been under seige due to the motorway invasion. I was there and am appalled by what is happening there. I want to share another piece I wrote in dedication to Tara since I was deeply moved by my visit there in 2005. (The attached file is copyrighted material so I only ask that the reader respect my wishes in not reproducing or transmitting in any form and by any means without written permission from me.) I'm sure many of you have also visited Tara and have feelings about this. What are your feelings about the motorway running through the precious land of the Hill of Tara? To read up on this go to: www.tarawatch.org.

Hi Kathleen, i did not hear about that situation but i never a good thing to destroy sacred ground with new technology...

It important to preserve the past ! Especially for Ireland who receive lot and lot of visitor each year to visit the sacred ground like Tara... They cannot make the visit a race to who can visit the history of Ireland in the most purest way and to leave it soiled for other who gonna come after... what about the children ? they have no chance of getting there before everything is destroyed if they are not born yet !!

Sorry but i could not read your poem it the letter are to small.. and i could not make it bigger ... can you make it bigger so we can read it ? Thank
Alex

Exquistie piece you have written! I too am mortified that Tara is being ruined. I know members of the Donegal Society have been signing petitions and trying to protest in any manner possible. I fear hope is lost to modernity. I was there, walked the hills, took photos and contemplated the enormity of that which I was akin to--brokenheartedly, I now know my children will never have that feeling as I have been blessed to have experienced there.
