Good grief, pseuds corner....Whilst tara is undoubtedly important, there is much else in Ireland that is equally so. Why this preoccupation with tara? Where is the evidence that this was indeed the seat of the kings of ireland? I see much speculation and very few hard facts. The one fact i do see is that some irish archaeologists decided years ago that tara was the place, staked their reputations upon it, and everyone else has followed suit. Wake up people, the emperor has no clothes.l
