Mr. Ian Lumley:

The locational significance of the Lismullin henge was not identified in the environmental impact assessment process, the planning consent process or the approval by An Bord Pleanála. It simply was not identified in the geophysical survey because it was a wooden henge structure where the different nature and material of the wooden post deposits would not have been identified. The full significance of the Lismullin henge was only discovered after the road consent, when the excavation work for the road project proceeded. That was too late. It should have been identified as part of the planning process and not afterwards.
