I get the feeling the Carrickminders are at the extreme end of conservation. Is there anything actually down worth saving?Well...http://www.indymedia.ie/article/61011#comment457472003-09-10T10:23:49+00:00The InsiderFriends of Medieval Dublin, which is headed by a professor from TCD, says the Ca...Friends of Medieval Dublin, which is headed by a professor from TCD, says the Carrickmines remains are hugely significant.<br />
<br />
Therefore, I'd say the Carrickminders are completely right, especially since all they're asking for is for the road to be realigned, not stopped altogether.Of course it's important!!!!http://www.indymedia.ie/article/61011#comment458362003-09-10T18:46:01+00:00archaeologistThis is Tara we're talking about.

I was under the impression that Tara was a world heritage site, and if it isn't it should be.<br />
<br />
The way our current government is acting, and given the recently emasculated state of Duchas, I genuinely feel that the more international protection our monuments have the better. <br />
<br />
Martin Cullen acts like he's never heard of the National Monuments legislation, which is very good legislation if applied properly. His department inherited a good, if over worked, heritage service, and has pissed all over it.<br />
<br />
Carrickmines notwithstanding, there is alot of good archaeological work done all over the country on a daily basis. But there is a sense always that you're working against the clock, not to say the engineers. <br />
<br />
Look at all of this "sustainable development". Quarries in the Boyne Valley, roads all over the shop, housing estates destroying the character of towns and villages...the wider archaeological community spends all of its time trying to mitigate the effects of the bad planning decisions, Duchas spends all of its time trying to do the same, and how happy Martin Cullen would be if there were fewer of us around...
