Roche, and re-route the M3 motorway from the Hill of Tara

Lismullen.
The main purpose of the event is to celebrate the World Monuments Fund
recently putting the Hill of Tara onto the List of the 100 Most
Endangered Sites.
A large number of poets are volunteering to entertain celebrants, over
the course of four days. Many performers and attendees are traveling
from abroad to participate.

Kelly performing until the sunrise, at approximately 6.00 am. Paul
Casey O'Bheal will do invocations of poetry, followed by more music

The Office of Public Works allows free camping to take place on the
public land on top of the Hill every year. Fresh water is available and
there will be additional toilet facilities in the car park. There is a
strict 'no alcohol or drugs' policy.
Many celebrants will travel from Tara to the Customs House, for a
demonstration on Monday at 12.00 noon outside the Department of the
Environment on Monday. TaraWatch will make a submission to Minister
Gormley at that time.
Organizer Heather Adams said:
"The Hill of Tara is the most magical place in Ireland to celebrate the
summer solstice.
"This is a totally free festival, and all we ask is that people don't
drink alcohol and respect the site.
"This will be a great opportunity for campaigners to gather and
contemplate the future of Tara.
