The high moral ground has been held by the Protectors of Tara at all times. They are champions for our culture and heritage.
The mad dog who says - "Can traps be laid out for them? Time to fight fire with fire." is not even slightly aware of the way of the passive non violent direct action at Rath Lugh. He should be ignored or restrained / retrained. It is morally wrong to try to get the Protectors of Tara to lay out traps or to fight as it is legally wrong.
Instead send them your support - quote

Its called self defence and if I were under threat of attack I would be thinking up a counter attack too! These thugs are preying on defenceless unarmed people in the middle of the night! Obviously their aim is to intimidate and to drive people away through fear. Rath Lugh is more resilient than they think!
Yes, the tactic of attacking people in the night is low-life stuff. It only shows how desperate they are. You should also take it as a badge of honour on how effective you are. I fully understand the desire to fight back but be sure that no matter how justified this is, it will be turned around in the media to paint the protectors as violent low-lives. They probably have the stories written already.
Beating up some hired security guys would not help Tara anyway. They would be replaced by more and the defenders would be back to square one, only this time with a lot of bad press.
The attempt to goad the defenders into violent action is typical of such situations. When they cannot do it from outside they may try, if they have not already, to place someone on your side of the barricades to throw the first punch.
Stay calm, be dignified and never stoop to the level they want you to.
Yeah you are right Bazooka Joe, fighting back would be a disaster. I was thinking more like trapping them in some way and holding them until Gardai arrive. That would be one way of dealing with them.
Hi all,
I've just received a phonecall from the RL camp. They have been served a second and final eviction notice from Coillte and the Gardaí. There are three Coillte people and two Gardaí onsite just now.
There is a long list of reasons, erecting tents, toilets, impeding the use of the amenity, cutting trees, preventing the public from enjoying the amenity etc.
They will be holding a meeting tonight.
I suggested that they try to negotiate a stay until the weekend.
They will need a huge amount of help with this and a lot of those people who were there are gone and there are a lot of new people on site.

I was told last night that the protestors on Rath Lugh were moving out today .
Have we any news of what is happening up there ?
Eviction, the latest weapon against the Protectors of our Heritage. There will be an update in due course.
