LIFFEY CHAMPION
JANUARY 15TH 2005
Letter to the editor
TARA EXCAVATIONS WILL COST 30-50
MILLION
Sir,
Mr Larry McAndrew's letter to your paper Tara
- 'over-puffed and oversold' (Saturday 25th December)was ill-informed on
a number of points. 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Rembrandt' was originally made by an eminent professor of archaeology,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?
Yours sincerely
Emmet Stagg TD
