Campaigners given hope in Carrickmines row

A conservationist was today granted leave to appeal against a decision made by Environment Minister Martin Cullen to demolish archaeological remains to build a roundabout.

The Supreme Court overturned a High Court Order made three weeks ago which had rejected Michael Mulcreevy’s request to appeal against the controversial decision to build a junction for the M50 motorway on the site of Carrickmines Castle, South Dublin.
