Carrickminders are planning a series of events in order to carry on the fight to preserve Carrickmines Castle. Now that the occupation is suspended, Carrickminders are able to focus on delivering the information, which has been collected over the last six months, to the public and the appropriate authorities. We will monitor and report activities occurring on various fronts.

On Monday February 10th, two individuals, Dominick Dun and Gordon Lucas, will seek a High Court injunction to prevent the removal of a ten-metre section of 'fosse', a walled defensive ditch, from being removed by Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown County Council. One of these individual plaintiffs, Gordon Lucas, is a Carrickminder who had been living onsite for months. While Carrickminders are not represented in this litigation, we are in close contact with the litigants, and will be reporting their progress.

The action next Monday comes in the wake of an action brought by Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown County Council in the High Court seeking an interlocutory injunction against Gordon Lucas and Vincent Salafia, two Carrickminders. On Monday 3rd of February, Gordon Lucas and Vincent Salafia, through Counsel, Colm Mac Eoghaidh, did not concede the trespass charge but consented to vacate the Castle site and have given undertakings not to return until there has been a full hearing.

Carrickminders will be holding a series of events in Dublin and around the country, such as a Public Meeting in Dun Laoghaire, concerts and a lecture series.
