Carrickminders Press Release
16th February 2003
Supreme Court Appearance Monday
Tomorrow morning at 11.00 AM, Monday 17th February, Mr. Gordon Lucas and Mr. Dominic Dunne will, through counsel Frank Callanan S.C. and Colm MacEoghaidh, B.L. petition the Supreme Court for an early hearing date for appeal. Due to the gravity of these proceedings Carrickminders took a decision not to enter the Carrickmines Castle environs. Any person entering is not representing the group.
Carrickminders have a strategy of respecting the courts wishes, now that two individuals have voluntarily put themselves at the mercy of the courts, in order to achieve the preservation of the site.
Yesterday, Saturday 15th February, an attempt was made by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council to remove a section of medieval wall, but were prevented from doing so by Gardai. Attempts have been made again today, but the wall remains intact, with only a few stones removed, according to Dr. Sean Duffy of Trinity College Dublin.
Tomorrow, Carrickminders will hold a press conference at 1.30 PM in Trinity College Dublin. The room number will be available after 10.00 AM by calling us or Trinity College TRINITY COLLEGE NUMBER. A full statement will be made with regards to the Supreme Court Proceedings. Dr. Sean Duffy, Chairman of Friends of Medieval Dublin, will give an account of events he witnessed over the weekend at the castle site. The National Museum of Ireland, and other interested parties, have been invited to make statement.
