13th Jan 2005 Tommy 'Pots and Pans' Reilly Reverses Stance on Tara In 2005, Tommy Reilly, Chairman of Meath County Council, is known as a vocal supporter of the proposed M3 motorway through the Tara/Skryne valley and has gone on the record as saying that this invaluable heritage site amounts to little more than a few, "pots and pans". However, things were not always thus. In 2001, the Meath Chronicle reported that Colr. Reilly was angry at the failure of Duchas to lend support to the development of the Hill of Tara as a site of historical significance. He also asked that Meath County Council meet with local enviromental groups such as the Hill of Tara Action Group in order to develop a programme to highlight the importance of this historic site and make it more ammenable to visitors who wished to view its splendour. What made Tommy change his mind, we wonder ? See Also... NRA Consultants Report on Tara contradicts NRA & Cullen's stance
