Once it is gone, it can NEVER be recovered

Activists occupying Carrickmines Castle are appealing for solidarity and assistance in their campaign to stop Carrickmines Castle disappearing under the M50 motorway. They are asking for anybody who believes in their aims to visit the site and support the occupation. Bring stories, music, conversation and solidarity. If you can stay overnight bring warm clothes, a tent and a sleeping bag. The Castle is easily reached on the #63 Bus from Fleet Street in Dublin City Centre.

Carrickmines Castle is one of the most significant medieval sites in Ireland and is the most important archaeological find in Ireland since Wood Quay. It is unique in Ireland and Britain and, once it is gone, it can NEVER be recovered.

It would be easy for Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council and the National Roads Authority to re-route the motorway so that the Castle remains can be preserved. This could be easily done as the council already owns the necessary land and the cost would be small relative to the overall cost of the motorway. How much is our heritage worth? How much is the heritage of ALL future generations worth?

The activists have been occupying the Castle since last Friday night will stay as long as it takes for the council and the NRA to guarantee the safety of Carrickmines Castle.

COME OUT AND HELP SAVE CARRICKMINES CASTLE!
