Local Environmental Group Appeal For National Support Earth clearing work is continuing at the Cavan site at Ardkill Mountain, threatening another large stretch of the ancient linear earthworks known as the Black Pigs Dyke or Worm Ditch. The quarry first opened without planning permission in the early eighties. Material quarried at the site was transported to a nearby quarry for stone breaking. The quarry subsequently closed for a number of years. However in the mid nineties the owners John Nulty Limited, applied for planning permission to Cavan county council to reopen the quarry. Despite many local objections being lodged permission was granted. Indeed so confident were the quarry masters, that they had large equipment installed at the Ardkill site before officially gaining the permission. John Nulty Limited is a major supplier of materials to Cavan County Council. |
