On 7 March 2008, in accordance with the provisions of Section 8 of the National Monuments Act 1930 (as amended), I placed a preservation order on the national monument known as Rath Lugh in the townland of Lismullin, County Meath. The monument had previously been the subject of a temporary preservation order which was due to expire in late March 2008. An intrinsic element of any such order is a map showing the location of the monument in question and the extent of the preservation order as it relates to the monument. The preservation order for the national monument at Rath Lugh including the relevant map is publicly available on request from my Department and has been issued to any person who has requested a copy since the making of the order. A copy of the preservation order has also been placed on the Department's main website, www.environ.ie, and on its dedicated archaeological website, www.archaeology.ie. The order was laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas on 13 March 2008.
