I AM editing an anthology of Irish war poetry for publication by Blackstaff Press.

I wish to draw attention to the proposed destruction of the curtilage of Carrigaphooca Castle demesne, contrary to the EU Convention for the Protection of the Architectural Heritage of Europe.

AS part of the N22 bypass of Macroom in Co Cork, the NRA proposes to erect a flyover at the site of a monument to six people killed during the civil war and a roundabout in front of Carrigaphooca Castle.
