Weird goings-on in Tara decision
I am not sure who contacted the aliens, having failed to find an extraterrestrial email address myself, but it is unsurprising given that every European and international political and archaeological body has come to the conclusion that the routing of this motorway was in diplomatic terms 'unfortunate' and that immediate steps should be taken to protect this historic area.
The truth may indeed be 'out there', but it is also closer than we think. One only has to read the planning documents to see that
1. Public consultation was dismissed as not being a legal requirement.
2. The route was chosen against all archaeological advice at the time. Even the archaeologist for the council admitted the route was "disastrous", archaeologically.
The only truth our Government has given out on this issue is that it met all the legal requirements.
These are the incredibly permissive and vague legal requirements which have landed us in the European Court of Justice.
And the larger truth is that I can't change this; only you, the people of Ireland can.
But if we continue to be too embarrassed or too lazy to stand up for our heritage and the rich culture that was bequeath to us then we will leave a poorer Ireland that not even ET would want to visit.
Perhaps this was a UFO 'last chance to see it' visit.
The people of Ireland are great at coming together on foreign emergencies such as floods and famine.
It is time to put that energy into our own country to make it a place that we all want to live in.
As always in a democracy it is your choice, but it unlikely the new landscape legislation will be passed by the same people who accepted this strange planning decision.
Anyone who wants any more information/proof of the GUBU nature of this decision is welcome to email me at pauline1@ireland.com but the truth is, the future of Tara is up to you.
