" Gardai endanger life
9:40, Thursday 13-3-08
Reports just received from Rath Lugh say that the Gardai (30) and Toll
road workers (60) are attacking the Protectors of Tara. They have cut
off the life support system to the tunnel knowing that there is a woman
deep below ground. Her name is Squeak. The front line camp is being
dismantled using bolt croppers - this is exposing the tunnel entrance.
Machinery has appeared and numerous toll road jeeps swarm around the
edge of Rath Lugh. This outrageous act by the Gardai endangers the life
of Squeak - the Gardai know this. We have previous examples of Garda
incompetence in situations beyond their control that went wrong due to
their stupidity - are we to see another example of their incompetence?
This is timed to occur just before an Emergency Injunction is being
sought to halt all works at Rath Lugh 10.30 in the Four Courts Dublin.
The boundary to the National Monument of Rath Lugh seems to be about to
be set by SIAC/Ferrovial toll road building crews and not by Irish Law
or the Minister.
Who is in command of this stupid plan? Did the Minister sanction this
attack on the peaceful Protectors of Tara? Is this the fullest
expression of Operation Bedrock?
All works on or near Rath Lugh must be stopped immediately until the
life of Squeak is secured and a proper survey has been done and boundary
lines clearly defined. "
