Great idea

This women's demonstration (against the M3 Toll Road through the Tara / Skreen Valley) seems like a really good idea to me.
   
I (for one) hope there will be more of them, and that more women - many more - will join in. 
   
What might be REALLY useful is if such demonstrations attracted international media attention (of the better kind)? - as I suspect they have the potential to do. 
   
For any Celtic woman (i.e. a women with Celtic genes) who might be in need of a bit of inspiration, and who has not yet heard of her, there are probably very few better recorded examples than that provided by Boudica (Celtic Queen of the Icini People) - who very nearly succeeded in driving the "super bully" Nero and his Roman Legions out of England. 
   
Thanks largely to ancient Rome's flair for keeping written records, relatively good basic information on Boudica (a name believed to be based on the Celtic word "bouda", meaning "victory") can be found at the following address: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boudica.
   
Though the accuracy of her historical records are probably much less reliable, there is also our own Queen Meave (Ireland) of course, who lived around the same time (roughly) as Boudica. Some basic information on Queen Meave can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medb .
   
Certain modern researchers of Iron Age Irish history (approximately 500 B.C. to 500 A.D.), such as Tom O'Connor for example, appear to be entirely convinced that the Turoe Stone in County Galway stood at the centre of Queen Meave's power-base. The Turoe Stone was a very sexy symbol created for a very sexy woman maybe?  For more on this subject, please see at http://homepage.eircom.net/~williamfinnerty/protest/nov21_stone.htm .
   
A final thought, and not many people at the present time know this perhaps: under the ancient Brehon Law of Ireland, Celtic women were equal to men with regard to education, property, and all sorts of other things.

THE  BIG  QUESTION:
  
Apart from the MASSIVE heritage and cultural protection issues connected with the Tara / Skreen Valley, why are we being force-fed with huge and grossly unhealthy new toll roads, which will boost carbon emissions and global warming, when it is efficient rail transport systems energised by wind-power, wave-power (and such like) that the world desperately needs at the present time?
