John Gormley, Minister for the Environment announced on the PK radio show Friday February 29th. 2008, that he would make pemanent, what had previously been a temporary preservation order, on the National Monument at Rath Lugh.
However, due to government errors in mapping, the National Monument has already been severely damaged as can be clearly seen in the photograph on our website.
The inaccurate mapping takes in only a part of the rath complex.................... and it is a complex.
We are calling on the Minister for the Environment to redefine the boundaries of the National Monument at Rath Lugh to correct discrepancies in mapping. Endorsing this request is a recent (February 14th. 2008) independent archeological survey of the topography of Rath Lugh, available on our website.
