Carrickmines Judgement in after Third Delay.

The judgement is expected on Tuesday morning July 25th 2006

This judgement has been delayed and long-awaited.
This is the Supreme Court Appeal taken by Dominic Dunne in relation to the constitutionality of orders given by the Minister for the Environment on the Carrickmine's Castle Complex.

The last delay on the judgement issue occured on the 15th/16th of Feburary 2006.

This judgement will probably directly affect the 38 sites currently being excavated at
the Tara complex. These are in line with the proposed M3 route. The existing, new legislation as it stands
would allow for ministerial orders to demolish, cover or/and remove these sites to allow the road to
extend through the archaeological remains of the Tara landscape.
This is a hugely important and significant judgement and day for Tara.
