no, not Jules  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hill_of_TaraPrehistoric find halts some work on M3 Wednesday, 2 May 2007 10:45 The Minister for the Environment, Dick Roche, has ordered that some work be stopped in an area surrounding a prehistoric find on part of the planned route of the M3 motorway in Co Meath. It follows the finding of what has been described as a substantial national monument at Lismullen, beside the Hill of Tara. On Monday, the Minister for Transport, Martin Cullen, turned the first sod on the M3 motorway. The archaeological site is said to be the size of three football fields. |

Where archaeology is concerned, I'd be delaying the road building too! Care much more about that kinda stuff than this job! I don't have dick-all to do with motorways though!  |

I know where you're coming from mate but before I had to work for a living I loved history and archaeology in a scarily geeky way...!  Still not as much as I love beer and women mind! ;D |

Well history has it's place but you have to get the balance right (sounds like a song) Nothing wrong with liking that sort of thing. I appreaciate it more now than when I was a younster as we where forced to go round churches etc., in the name of culture.
However as you say who needs culture when you have women and beer, long live the revolotion!

Proposed motorway development The proposed M3 motorway will pass through the Tara-Skryne Valley, at its closest coming within 1.2 km (0.75 miles) of the Hill of Tara. This development is intensely controversial and looks set to go ahead despite protests. A legal action taken by environmental lawyer Vincent Salafia to try to stop the work failed in the High Court. The decision is now under appeal. Appeal turned down on the grounds that there wasn't anything else there and wouldn't damage oldest archaeology sites in the world, this site is 5000 years old, nearly 2000 years older than stonehenge, c*nts!  |
