M3 protest outside Irish Green offices
Campaigners today opened a petition outside Green Party headquarters demanding that Minister for the Environment John Gormley re-route the controversial M3 motorway.
The event, organised by TaraWatch, is calling for the road to be diverted away from the ancient Hill of Tara site in Co Meath.
“The purpose of the petition is to compel Minister Gormley to act to protect Tara, so that Irish citizens are not forced to risk seeking relief in the courts,” campaigner Vincent Salafia said.

I found this piece amusing. Usually, the Green Party is the one in the streets protesting! Things are a lot different when people think you have the power to change things.
