The Tara Fairy Tree!

The Tara Fairy Tree!

Fairy Tree at Tara?

Listening to the John Murray Show on RTE yesterday about the above tree on Tara I thought I'd wander up and have a look and it fairly well decorated with bits and bobs. I've been told it's not even the correct  tree but it's the one people have been directed to and just about everything's hanging on there. A clean up due at the weekend! For many people it's a wishing tree where mementos of loved ones have been tied and some are coming back to collect them but others have tied just about everything you could imagine there. Over a bit further from the site is the memorial to the 1798 rebellion and it's now impossible to read the inscription on the cross. I can remember an old photo of "Dev" standing beside it at the celebrations in 1948 and you could read it clearly then! What ever happened to the plan to make Tara a world heritage site?
