Concern over work on heritage site

THE state has been accused of neglecting one of the country’s most iconic heritage sites.

An expert on the history of the Rock of Cashel in Co Tipperary said he has real concerns that the latest restoration project on the historic site will take years longer than it should, will have a negative visual impact on the site, and will further damage the struggling tourism industry.
