Tara Day in Maynooth

category national | politics / elections | news report author Tuesday February 20, 2007 23:56author by Muireann Ni Bhrolchain - Save Tara Report this post to the editors

The Young Greens are organising an event at NUI Maynooth

PRESS RELEASE – TARA DAY AT MAYNOOTH COLLEGE
(Sent on behalf of and at the request of the organisers)
The Young Green Party are hosting a "Tara Day" at NUI Maynooth on
Wednesday 28th. February.

This is in response to the beginning of preparatory work on the proposed route of the M3 that includes whole
scale tree felling throughout the Gabhra Valley. The general public are
welcome and invited to visit during the day and attend the various talks
that evening.

During the day, members of the various campaigns dedicated to saving
Tara from the present route of the M3 will be available to give out
information to the student body and the general public. There will be an
information stall with leaflets, advice on what the public can do, a
petition, photos of the campaign over the past 4 years as well as videos
etc.

Members of the Solidarity Vigil, who are living on the Hill at present,
will also be in attendance during the day.

The Young Greens are delighted to announce that Trevor Sargent will be
among the speakers on that evening. These will begin at 6.30pm with a
talk by Dr Muireann Ní Bhrolcháin on the importance of Tara and the
Gabhra Valley in history and literature. There will also be a talk by
Heather Buchannan on the history of the campaign, Brian Guckian will
give his Multiway Alternative Vision for Meath including the rail
option. Martin Hogan who is an independent candidate for the NUI Senate
will also speak followed by Trevor Sargent. These talks will take place
in the John Hume Building, North Campus, Lecture Hall 2.

A Wine Reception will follow, and the evening will finish with music by
the Trad Soc from the College.

"This invitation has been sent around the country, so we hope to have
lots of members of the public and press in attendance, as well as
students and staff of NUI," said Lou McManmon of the organising committee.

Further information is available from Lou on 086 3600478, or email

This is a most worthy event and all those who can get there and support it should do so.

That said, most people from all other parts of Ireland will not be able to travel to the Event, so, mostly locals are being catered for. Most Save Tara events are held in Meath at nightime. Can some such events be run during daytime so that people from all over Ireland can attend and get home at a comfortable hour, Thank You.

Have a great time for Tara !

If you or anyone you know would like to attend the talk in Maynooth that evening, I'm sure we can arrange a floor for you to sleep on, if it's too late for you to travel home afterwards. My number is 086 3600 478
