At least they're not building a mall on top of it.

If they are anything like the US, they will have loopholes
allowing businesses to build in the future. It seems to me to be a calculated move to get protesters to back off of the motorway.
Excuse my cynicism.
I find the idea of any intrusion into this monument of epic historical importance, to be beyond obscene.

Well, Ireland's economy is in the toilet, so I suppose if there are jobs to be had here, the pressure will be on the gov to create some

They (want to) pave Paradise and put up a parking lot.

I've visited the Hill of Tara. It is a beautiful, uncanny place. Malls and shopping centers and the like have no business being anywhere near it.

Yes, lexica, we don't know what we got till it's gone
we pave paradise and put up a parking lot. Maybe not this time since the development plans are out the window. We have to stop the motorway!!
Thanks for all of your comments.

I am fairly positive I already signed this, unless there is more than one petition going around.
I went to the link but it says they are no longer accepting signatures.
