Save Tara

Not even the Emerald Isle is safe from the lunatic road-builders. The latest example of "destroy our history and culture to shave 10 minutes off your travel time" is the beautiful Tara in Ireland. Yup, the Teamhair na Rí, the center of Ireland, the seat of the High Kings.. is, well... obviously pointless and unimportant, at least according to the Irish government, who have agreed to plans to build a bloody motorway through the Tara-Skryne valley, up to half a mile away from the monument. But its not just the hill, it's all the sacred sites and archeology that surround it are going to be bulldozed and tarmacked. Something 70% of locals surveyed were opposed to. Feck it, watch this:

It doesn't matter if you're not Irish really, what we're talking about here is a world-important archeological and cultural site. Please, if you have time, visit the following websites, sign the petitions, get involved (if you can). This is bloody important. Thanks.
