If I remember correctly they were in fact wearing what looked like check trousers with a sort of blanket thing over them, that was just Con and his partner, the others were smart casual :) Con, as Ryaner said, is a really nice guy, unassuming and as down to earth as a druid could be I suppose. I think I was the one acting the oddest, I probably looked like some rejected contortionist from the russian circus trying to get in a position where I could frame them against the sky and keep the moon in shot. Damn near impossible to frame when the moon is the only thing you can see in the viewfinder.

I dont think the intention was to remain tight lipped about what he said before the ceremony, he was explaining it to National Geographic after all! I'm not sure he's identified the correct agency in the Tara debacle but there has been some serious dodgy dealing going on, the land at Edoxstown for example where an earthen fort (on the OS map) has dissappeared. The land was bought by a shelf company based in the south pacific but oh, the company was bought by the archduke of planning corruption Frank Dunlop and a Fianna Fail councillor in the area who then 'forgot' to update the company records to identify themselves as the purchaser of the company, and hence the land. Apparently the fort has been bulldozed and it was most likely on this land.

What intrigued me most is his hints about a certain person prominently against this route going under an assumed name...
