Help save Carrickmines Castle from the bulldozers

Help save Carrickmines Castle from the bulldozers. Join the ocupation, drop out for a visit, take pictures, shoot footage, spread the word.

In the early hours of this morning [Saturday 31 August] campaigners began an occupation of the archaeological site of Carrickmines Castle. The excavation of the site, which is still incomplete, was wound up on Friday evening to make way for the destruction of a large proportion of the site for the completion of the M50 motorway. The campaigners are calling for a
realignment of the motorway to preserve the medieval site.

The occupation is a non-violent spontaneous civil protest.

Help support the ongoing protest.

Transport: 63 Bus from Fleet Street
