Thanks for that FW. I have a poem on Tara that needs a photo; it begins -

no swan, no snail must stop this dash
to tear around with wads of cash

Do you, Cian, or anyone else, have something I can use?

Just heard on the news that An Bord Pleanála have given the go ahead to motorway construction and the destruction of Lismullin. Perhaps someone else has more details they could fill in?

Small sweet victories, three legal challenges to the M3 motorway, and the EU are also threatening very large fines....

Destruction by documentation.

That is the fate awaiting a newly discovered ancient henge which lies directly in the path of the M3 motorway currently under construction in the Gabhra valley.

It’s simple. First, you document the site. Take photos, samples, measurements, drawings. Then, you wipe it from the face of the earth. This is the trend in Irish archaeology, a field in which a majority of the trained professionals are now funded by private developers and construction companies. In the developer-driven scenario, everything is fair game. It is the builder who has control over whether information about archaeological discoveries can be disseminated to the media while excavation is in progress.

What can you do?

"to wave the curse-word "heritage" out of regard for a civilisation which is extinct and largely unknowable, at the expense of a real, existing civilisation which is neither, is academic preciousness at its most snobbishly depraved.
So unleash the JCBs, say I, and complete the M3 motorway, pronto. "
