Adjournment Matters. - National Monuments Preservation.
The Jackson Way site may be clean as a whistle. However, the worst situation would be that in years to come we looked at the route only to find something was flawed about the planning process over which we could not stand and discovered it was routed there for all the wrong reasons other than planning. That worries me. One of the victims of that routing would be the medieval site known as Carrickmines Castle. My first plea is that we do not go ahead with this when there are such extraordinarily uncomfortable questions to answer such as who is benefiting from the fact that the road goes through the site. Those with an interest in our heritage, medieval archaeology and who have taken an interest in this site will suffer most.
