M3 protestors to create human harp for photo on Hill of Tara

Hundreds of people are expected to turn up at the Hill of Tara this afternoon to create the image of a harp.

Renowned aerial artist John Quigley, who has created similar aerial human images in the Artic and the Amazon, will direct the event.

Irish actors Stuart Townsend and Jonathan Rhys Myers are due to attend.

Organisers are hoping the event raises awareness for the campaign to re-route the M3 motorway away from the hill.
