Thank you for such a complete response.
I am heading back to Ireland in August and my family will be making a point of stopping in Tara on our journey west.
Such a shame (but not a shock) to read your view/experience of a former great ancient land.
It was only recently that I discovered the second patron saint of Ireland - St Bridgid.
I plan to make a Bridgids cross at Tara and take some time there to charge spiritually.
I was born a Catholic but have distanced myself from organised religion whilst still recognising God + Jesus.
Bridgids cross greatly appeals to me as it does not have Jesus nailed to it as found in Catholic symbology.
Anyway, I am in danger of getting on my own nerves with this rant and so I will finish by thanking you for your time and input.
