Government urged to make the Curragh a national park
The Curragh is Ireland's largest, finest, and possibly only, example of a surviving ancient unenclosed low grassland and is surrounded by good, fertile lands.
The Government is being urged to consider designating the Curragh as a national park to protect its unique ecological, historical and cultural significance.
Covering almost 5,000 acres of unfenced flat land between Newbridge and Kildare, the Curragh has remained uncultivated for over 2,000 years.
