Statement. National Roads Authority, 10th. March 2008,
09:00hrs.
Works at Rath Lugh.
The NRA is not encroaching on the site of Rath Lugh.
There is a preservation order on the monument at Rath Lugh and at no point are we encroaching on the monument.
The contractor is putting in place a crib wall within the footprint of his work area to guarantee there will be no encroachment.
The protesters are taking apart protective fencing and they are digging on the site itself causing impact on the area as you can see in the Irish Times Picture.
The M3 is bypassing the area and will not impact Rath Lugh.
ENDS
