Heritage Week debate – United Arts Club Dublin, Mon 25 Aug: Should the Hill of Tara be a UNESCO World Heritage Site?
‘Should the Hill of Tara be a UNESCO World Heritage Site?’
In April 2008, the Minister for the Environment, John Gormley, announced he intended to seek UNESCO status for Tara, despite the M3 motorway being built within the Tara complex. Does the M3 detract from Tara’s outstanding universal value? Is UNESCO status a bad idea anyway? Should UNESCO seek a re-routing of the M3 now? Please come along and participate in this debate, which will be followed by music and poetry by Melanie O’Reilly and Friends.
