Parts of Tara to be demolished for a freeway?

Question

With so many of the Irish people standing up and denouncing d**k Roche (one of the Irish ministers) for demolishing 4000 year old mounds to make way for a freeway (which could be built along several alternate routes with almost no inconvenience or little extra cost), do you think that the government has the right to proceed with the destruction? Are there people who think this is a good thing, destroying the old to make room for the new? Anyone who thinks that the destruction of some of the oldest man made structures in the world is comparable to destroying Stonehenge and should be prevented?

I answered a similar question. In the early 1970s, after its reversion to Japan, a huge expressway project was begun on the island of Okinawa. During the intial phase, a bull dozer unearthed archeological relics which showed that Okinawa's Ryukyan culture pre-dated that of Japan by 1,500 years or so. The road was redesigned to go around that hill and preserve the site of those relics. The URL below will take you to an English language web site for Okinawa. Click onto the "Guest book" link and leave a message about this insane assault on Tara. You may get some feedback and assistance on how to stop this govermental minister from carrying out this road project.

Great balls of fire!  That would be like bulldozing the Coliseum.  You Irish people should fight it, preserve your heritage. Good luck.
