Statement from Tara 4 in Cloverhill PrisonWe consider the proposal to build a four-lane motorway,
including a massive interchange, within 1200mts of the Hill of Tara to be a
crime against the culture, heritage and history of our people. The Tara
landscape is an area of unparalleled and irreplaceable importance to all the
people of this island.
These foolish, greedy men with political power and
corrupt influence, who would inflict this wound on the most important symbol of
our civilization and identity, will be damned by their actions. That they would
wilfully ignore the will of the people of this island and attempt to proceed
with this plunder says much about the health of our democracy and of our
society.
That those who peacefully resist this desecration and
illegality should be locked up as common criminals is a testament to the potency
and importance of this struggle. And to how much those in power fear it.
We call on all people of goodwill, all people who value
ideals not measured in monetary terms, all people who know that after this
rapacious greed has passed we will be left with nothing but our heritage and
identity upon which to rebuild, we call on all of you to stand with us.
We call on all politicians, north and south for their
active support to Save Tara Valley. To make a stand now for beauty and truth,
against greed and corruption, to stand shoulder to shoulder in defence of
Tara.
