The mask mafia is back. The UK faces "a tidal wave" of 'super flu' and people must "get back into the habit" of mask-wearing, says one senior NHS mandarin. We have one defence, says Dr Gary Sidley: do not comply.

After the awful massacre of Jews on Bondi beach, far too many commentators focused on the actions of the heroic Muslim who tackled one gunman. Heroic Muslims are not the "antidote" to Islamist terror, says Steven Tucker.

The EU's rollback of its petrol and diesel car ban is just the start of the bloc's retreat from Net Zero, says Ben Pile. Emissions reduction targets may remain in place for now, but don't imagine they will last long.

Motorway Protest: Carrickmines Castle Occupied

category dublin | miscellaneous | feature author Saturday August 31, 2002 03:28author by IMC Editorial Group - IMC Ireland Report this post to the editors

In the early hours of Saturday 1st September activists occupied the archaeological site of Carrickmines Castle in a non-violent direct action that could rival the Glen of the Downs protest. The excavation of the site, which is still incomplete, was wound up on Friday evening to make way for its destruction for the completion of the M50 motorway.

Cian O'Callaghan, media spokesperson said: "575 million euro is being spent on the South Eastern Motorway which is the final part of the M50 C-Ring Motorway around Dublin. It is outrageous that such a large amount of money is been spent without preserving the archaeological site at Carrickmines Castle. The excavations, which ended on Friday, are still vastly incomplete."

Over the weekend, more than 400 members of the public visited the site over the weekend but protestors emphasised that the excavation work was not disturbed at any time. A call has gone out for others to join the protest. Earlier, An Taisce had stated it was considering legal action to prevent the destruction of the site.
