Heather Humphries urged to protect medieval heritage

An Taisce has appealed to heritage minister Heather Humphries to intervene in the conservation of an early medieval site earmarked for a multi-million euro tourist development.

The heritage watchdog body’s Mark Clinton claimed the site at Kinnagorva, near Clonea Strand close to Dungarvan, was of major heritage and cultural importance and was “totally unsuitable” for commercial development.

He is the chairman of An Taisce’s Monument and Antiquities Commission.
