by Muireann Ni Bhrolchain - Save the TaraSkryne Valley Group:

"The bulldozers have withdrawn from the site at Tara because the builders are on holidays for the next two weeks.
They are using the lowest standards of excavation at our most important site.
This is Tara's landscape.
The protest goes ahead. The site is the place. Come and see the damage for yourselves.
You cannot see that at NRA or MCC offices. It needs to be seen to be believed."

And what of the Official Archaeologists? Don't they have some kind of say in the matter. I was under the impression that this sort of development needed official sanction. Was the county archaeologist informed? Did the developers go through the regular channels to get permission?

If they did, then someone needs to be answering some serious questions. If they didn't then what they are doing is illegal, and the Garda should be informed.
