Heritage up a planning cul de sac
Recently, An Bord Pleanála overturned permission for a two-storey house in Co Roscommon because of its proximity to the Rathcroghan archaeological complex.
It is hard to believe that this is the same body which, almost a year ago, gave full approval for the M3 motorway to cut through the centre of the 6,000-year-old Tara landscape, and allowed for a massive floodlit interchange to be constructed just 1km from the Hill of Tara itself.
