Paisley may be the last hope of saving Tara

THE commendable decision of the Government to preserve the site of the Battle of the Boyne contrasts sadly with their indefensible destruction of the archaeology of part of Tara.

Dick Roche’s parting shot as Environment Minister to have the Lismullen henge ‘preserved by record’ only willinflict the most damage on our priceless archaeological heritage.

This nation deserves better than that departing act of vandalism against our heritage.
