Are the Direct Action protesters in the Forest near Tara the modern day Robin Hood and his Merry Men?

Question

Living in tents in the Winter defending the traditional heritage of Ireland do they deserve our full support or...

Are they just a bunch of anarchists?

I have been there and admire their hardiness and spirit.

Answer 1

Them plums never had to drive the n3 on fri eve of a bank holiday. The motorway is well due . Time marches on things change , wish they would get over it. Unwashed hippies.

Answer 2

So there's you,in your magic bus,admiring the anarchists.Time you were off to Galway before you get ideas of joining them into your head.LOL

Answer 3

I agree with you. It is possible to avoid Tara altogether, and planners could easily still do this and have the motorway as well.

Answer 4

As much as I admire what the protesters at the Hill of Tara are trying to protect what they fail to say is ..the current road by the Hill of Tara is already closer to the site then the proposed one will be, so should they are protested years ago!!!

Take a trip down there for the summer solstice its great craic.  I think you have to put your name into a draw if you want to get into Newgrange for the winter solstice, but I'd imagine it would be spectacular to be there on the day
