Limerick man mounts Lismullen court challenge
A Limerick man is mounting a High Court challenge aimed at protecting the Lismullen national monument located near the Hill of Tara in Co Meath.
Gordan Lucas is seeking to enforce EU environmental impact assessment directives and the European Convention on Human Rights.
According to campaign group Tarawatch, Lismullen was discovered in the pathway of the M3 road and was declared one of the top 10 most important archaeological discoveries of last year.
Former Environment Minister Dick Roche signed an order to preserve Lismullen by record, but gave the go ahead for it to be raised to make way for the road.
