The Ardkill Song
(To the air of Katie Daly)
When Nulty Quarries dug up Ardkill Mountain in the pioneering year of eighty two, before long they’d left a mighty crater where the Black Pig’s Race it once went through.
Chorus
Come down from the mountain Seanie Nulty, come down from the mountain Nulty do. Bring all your diggers and bulldozers, rockbreckers and explosives too ou ou.
The Nulty Boys they surveyed Ardkill Quarry, in the pioneering year of Zero Two, “Be God Boys we’ll have to make her bigger, so Jonte we’ll have your mountain too ou ou.”
Chorus
Before long the Hi Mac she was moving, heading up towards the mountain top, when there came a phone call from An Taisce, saying “Now Nulty its time you stopped.
Chorus
The Black Pigs Race, the Cats Cradles and the Mass Rock, the Holy Well and Finn McCools Hand, oh the stand on the summit in a clear day and survey the beauty of this land.
Chorus
We used to stand and admire that old mountain, towering over all the countryside. When they blew up Ardkill Mountain, they took away some of our pride.
Chorus

I know all about the frustration you are feeling Susan and beleive me the situation in Co, Mayo isn't much better when it comes to protecting our heritage and the environemnt. Certain Co. Co. have paticualry bad records on these issues and general planning, particualry in the Countryside, Roscommon and Kerry Co. Co. have similary artrocious records.

American "Oh you mean an underground museum?"
Cavan Co. Councilor " Well not really, you know that roundabout on the Dublin road out of Cavan".
American "Sure"
Cavan Co. Councilor "Well ye see most of it is buried under there"
American "I guess thats one way of making use of your heritage"
