RATH LUGH CALLING:

The Rath Lugh Direct Action Camp is situated two and a half kilometres from the Hill of Tara, on the Front Line of the proposed M3 between Lismullen and Baronstown. We are a diverse and international group of activists working together in a non-hierarchal way with the aim of putting a stop to the proposed M3. Currently we are hoping to obtain Gaeltacht Status, as Irish is spoken and taught in the camp on a daily basis.

We participate in Non Violent Direct Action tactics in order to halt the ongoing destruction of the Tara complex. The camp works with an emphasis on the preservation of our heritage and our culture predating Christianity for future generations to appreciate and learn from. This involves blockading the key routes, hence stopping as much machinery and construction as possible on the sites.

As Rath Lugh is an outer defence post for the Hill of Tara, it is possible for us to keep a permanent vigil on the movement of vehicles and personnel working on various construction sites throughout the valley. We also maintain a constant presence on the Rath Lugh National Monument, which is currently under a temporary preservation order. We aim to see this significant monument permanently preserved in-line with the rest of the Tara Complex.

Our daily duties in the camp involve collecting firewood, water from the well, taking and processing footage and photos, cooking meals, washing, scouting the valley for machinery, finding ancient artifacts in the Gabhra River, and jumping in front of diggers, steamrollers, graders and earth movers.

In order to educate and promote the importance of sustainable development within the Tara Valley and through the wider world using energy efficient technologies, we have recently installed a number of wind turbines and solar panels with a pedal powered bicycle generator. This enables us to charge mobile phones, camera batteries and have constant access to internet with the use of IT facilities. Green technology allows us to create an alternative media platform further highlighting the ongoing destruction of the Valley to a world wide community of activists, concerned groups, governments, NGOs and individuals inside and outside of Ireland. www.tarapixie.net is updated every day from the Rath Lugh Woods.

We believe that the Irish Government are spreading misinformation regarding the issues of heritage and culture about the destruction of the Tara Complex. We are currently engaged in active awareness protests around the country. Groups are raising awareness of the Quarry Protest in Kildare and Meath, Pylon Protest, Hill of Allen (Roadstone are mining the hill and the Fianna training grounds), Shell to Sea, Rockall, Dunquinn and various anti incinerator groups. All have the common goal of halting the destruction of our heritage, environment and natural resources. In unity, our voice is heard, in solidarity, we are stronger and we will not rest until sustainable development is obtained.

Rath Lugh Direct Action Camp welcomes all friends of Tara. We need people urgently to halt the Valley's destruction. Everyone has a skill or talent they can lend to this protest. Bring wellies, raingear, sleeping bags, torch, lighter, plenty of warm clothing, and good spirits. The protest is only going to get stronger, we will continue to oppose the motorway until it is moved, so come to Rath Lugh as quickly as you can. WE NEED YOU ALL NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. Tara is calling, don't ignore the call.

Slan a Pixie ;)

Tara Calling !!!

As you may know on St. Stevens Day 2007, the NRA handed over the archaeological site at lismullen,with its wood henge

(which was designated a nationa lmonument in may 2007)

and an amazing subterrain complex

(destroyed in early december 2007 with out any independent archaeology carried out)

containing megalithic art from much earlier monuments, to SIAC/FERROVIAL the construction consortium

to face its faith as yet another monumental diaster in the gabhra valley,

at the hands of government appointed vandals!

This is because the twelve weeks given to the NRA archaeologists to excavate and destroy the two thirds of the henge

lieing in the path of the proposed motorway is up and under the National Monuments Act 2004

it now belongs to SIAC/FERROVIAL.

Construction Workers return to work tommorrow morning Monday 7th of Jan at 7am after two weeks of blissful

silence in the Valley.

"Calling all tribal warriors!
The sacred site of Tara (Ireland), the burial ground of our ancestors and the portal to the spirit world, is being desecrated and destroyed by the building of a motorway.

The spirits of the land cry out to all those who love the earth, our Mother, to come to our assistance in halting the destruction.

We call on the tribal peoples of the world to send us your warriors, your elders, your shamans; help us to harness the energies of this sacred place so that we may defeat the dark forces of greed, corruption and brutal stupidity.

Bring us your wisdom, your light and your power.
We send you our blessings."
