Red Branch Heritage appeal for support Cavan based heritage group Red Branch Heritage have renewed their urgent appeal for all concerned people who wish a two thousand year old landmark to be protected to contact Cavan County Council and register their disquiet. Susan Hayes, Red Branch Heritage secretary said that with National Heritage week approaching her organisation had plans to highlight growing public disquiet at the planning policies of Cavan County Council in relation to the protection of Heritage sites in the county. In many recent controversial planning applications relating to a conflict of interest between developers and heritage interests, Cavan County Council has invariably come down in favor of granting the permission despite legitimate concerns. Last year the council granted planning approval for a limestone quarry at Mountnugent despite local objections. An appeal to An Board Pleanala overturned this decision. |

Red Branch Heritage in Cavan has this weekend released a number of disturbing pictures showing how the work to extend Ardkill quarry has already damaged the local landscape
Group chairman John O’Reilly said his group was stepping up their efforts to draw public attention to this deplorable situation. This work clearing topsoil from a newly purchased area of Ardkill More Mountain, Carrickaboy began last April without planning approval. However pressure placed on Cavan County Council led to the Nulty quarry company attempting to apply for planning approval in recent weeks, however that application was found invalid by Cavan Co. Council. Another application is expected. John Nulty Limited the quarry company involved even started drilling work on the newly cleared land until public complaints again forced the county council to halt this activity.
The original quarry works has destroyed a two hundred yard stretch of the ancient defensive earthworks known as the Black Pig’s Dyke, which runs across the western slopes of the mountain. This is the only surviving stretch of the dyke in county Cavan.
Mr. O’Reilly said his group hoped the more public pressure would secure the future of this ancient monument. The quarry has become a blight on the landscape stated John O’Reilly.
It’s a classic example of how not to site a quarry from both an archeological and landscape point of view concluded the chairman.
Has nobody noticed a connection between the Gombeen councilors -Mostly -but not all-Fianna Failer's,who don't give a tinkers damn about our heritage and archaelogical sites.
Remember this ..you or your neighbours elected the hoodlums who ride roughshod over our history ,and our souls.
