... Now where's that fine-tooth comb of mine... Ahh... there it is....

a)   "The vast majority of Ireland's population could not tell you if asked, where Tara is situated,not to mind have the first clue as to it's historical significance."

b)   "if all the Irish People who use and comment on the forum are a true reflection of the general population then I think the source of my opinion is well proven."

Oh...., and if a quick look up this thread gives any indication of the general feeling towards this issue, then the source of your opinion is not well proven, thehiker.

I would, however listen more to the people who are going to be affected by this decision; ie. the people in the Skryne valley, and take into account their concerns.

I mean if some Government was going to put a bulldozer through your backyard, you wouldn't want some hurler on the ditch from the back of beyond, cheering them heartily onwards, now, would you?
