Allow me to take this opportunity to clarify. The quotes that he used were from a speech given by myself during the Dáil debate tabled by the Labour Party recently and they were not from a Party policy document. The quotation 'ripping a knife through a Rembrandt' was originally made by an eminent professor of archaeology, Dennis Harding of the University of Edinburgh and the second was from one of the petitioners on the Save TaraSkryne website petition. These were short extracts from a longer speech that were reported in the Irish Times. The King of Tara was revered by the people as the sacred primary King of Ireland and not just a 'warlord' and their power was considered to come from the Gods. Society treated him as King of the world and this explains the huge number of monuments in the valley. It was a prehistoric burial ground and a sanctuary. To say that Tara is 'over-puffed and oversold' and to equate it with other sites in the country is to belittle the opinion of expert historians and archaeologists. In his submission to An Bord Pleanála, Conor Newman who was the director of the Discovery Programme's Tara Survey said: 'The Hill of Tara is one of the most important and famous archaeological complexes in the world. The fact is Tara commands a place on the world stage. This is not hyperbole, it is a statement of fact. As such, it is a major cultural and heritage resource, one that only really beginning to be developed and exploited as such'. Let me repeat something that I said in my Dáil speech: 'The NRA continues the fiction that Tara is confined to the actual hill but this is not the case. It must be made clear and repeated to the point of boredom, the top of the hill that we call the Hill of Tara is only part of the much wider, integrated landscape that was used for thousands of years by our ancestors'. The eastern side of the hill is the most important as this is where the royal demesne of the Kings of Tara was. This motorway will plough right through this.The major change will be at Blundelstown just 1.5km from the celebrated 'Banqueting Hall' on the hilltop.

The writer accuses the Party of abandoning fiscal and taxation reality. The reality is that if the Government persists in continuing with the present disastrous route through the Tara Skryne Valley and the sacred landscape of Tara the road will be delayed for years not only by unnecessary excavation of huge ritual sites but also by the court actions that have been threatened by the objectors. The cost of these excavations are already estimated at 30-50 million. It would be cheaper and more efficient to move the route of the motorway to the original preferred route as recommended by the Halcrow Barry report of 2000 at route selection stage. The road, if built at all, will probably not be finished for 10-12 years and the landscape once destroyed can never be replaced. It is short-sighted in the extreme to ignore the experts and turn our backs on the importance of tourism. Perhaps your writer was not impressed with Tara but he is very much in the minority. A final word of explanation - the archaeology of Tara is underground unlike the wonders of Newgrange. This does not mean that there is nothing there - simply, like Carrickmines, that it is not visible above ground. Finally, all this expense and delay will only save the motorist 9-10 minutes and get to the M50 car park faster. What price Tara?

The Århus Convention Agreement
(3 Main Points)

The Århus Convention establishes a number of rights of the public (citizens and their associations) with regard to the environment. Public authorities (at national, regional or local level) are to contribute to allowing these rights to become effective. The Convention provides for:

The right of everyone to receive environmental information that is held by public authorities (“access to environmental information”). This can include information on the state of the environment, but also on policies or measures taken, or on the state of human health and safety where this can be affected by the state of the environment. Citizens are entitled to obtain this information within one month of the request and without having to say why they require it. In addition, public authorities are obliged, under the Convention, to actively disseminate environmental information in their possession;
The right to participate from an early stage in environmental decision-making. Arrangements are to be made by public authorities to enable citizens and environmental organisations to comment on, for example, proposals for projects affecting the environment, or plans and programmes relating to the environment, these comments to be taken into due account in decision-making, and information to be provided on the final decisions and the reasons for it (“public participation in environmental decision-making”);
The right to challenge, in a court of law, public decisions that have been made without respecting the two aforementioned rights or environmental law in general (“access to justice”).
