3 activists defend heritage site

This morning 3 workmen turned up at the Carrickmines Castle site to cut down more trees. This follows saturdays felling when the small number of activists were unable to prevent incursions onto the site.

Transport Minister Brennan has given the green light to Heritage Destruction at Carrickmines. This morning 3, and only 3, activists are trying to prevent workmen with chainsaws from cutting down trees. The tree clearance is part of preparation works on site to facilitate the laying of an autobahn over an important Heritage site.
This is a call to all who have concerns about Carrickmines to go to the site today and help the 3 activists prevent the felling of trees.
Carrickmines is easily accessible to all who live in the greater Dublin area, particularly whose who live on the Southside or the city centre.
