Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5I support you all the way lads - go for it (put everything you have into it - ie. ACT LOCAL, THINK GLOBAL - but: why does everything have to happen just before bulldozers move it.
Surely twould have been better before. Hopefully people are ready for the Tara motoroway before they move in the cops n dozers. By the way - Bertie warport, GM crops, Nato boy, neoliberal,Nice liar Ahern is a rotten rotten Clintonesque traitor that needs to be exposed!!!
Cars are dinosaurs anyway. Destroying our history so more of them can clog up our cities and pollute our air for the few years left before the climate is destroyed and the oil runs out is pretty thick.
Stop the Road!
Saw the campaigners giving out leaflets on Grafton Street today. Was a quick operation if the occupation just started last night.
However leaflet had no e-mail or other contact, so could be worth adding that.
Best of luck.
Sorry I couldn't be there (back in Ireland on Tue). Many congrats to everyone involved. Hope to see you soon!
Woodquay, Carrickmines - Spot the difference?
By now we are approaching the beginning of the third week of occupation. Systems are now in place to facilitate others who may wish to visit or stay. By virtue of our presence so far, it is my belief that had we not moved in, the NRA's contractors would have destroyed the site under the auspices of clearing the trees, bush, and shrub that are in the way of the pending roads. I would urge people to come down and take a look; see the site - but also note how close the builders are getting... Failing that, the more people that email and phone their representatives, the better; over the last couple of days a number of the TDs have been in contact with us. Needless to say, it can only help to focus their minds with the more calls made to them; they are your representatives, this is your heritage - let's get them on the case and get this sorted!
Thanks to everybody for all the support and interest -
On behalf of the Carrickminders,
Ruadhan Mac Eoin.
