A friend in Merrie Olde emailed me a link about this. Apparently the Irish National Roads Authority (NRA) is destroying archaeological sites in order to build a road in the vicinity of Tara, the ancient site of the crowning of the kings of Ireland.
http://www.tarawatch.org/There are options for donating (through PayPal. Blech) on that site, and a list of other places to get more information.
