Roche defends decision to destroy Stone Age monument
Quote:
Roche defends decision to destroy Stone Age monument
Former Minister for Environment Dick Roche has defended his decision to approve the destruction of a Stone Age henge recently discovered in Co Meath.
The monument was uncovered at Lismullen, near the Hill of Tara, during preparatory work on the route of the M3 motorway.
In one of his final acts as minister, Mr Roche signed an order allowing for the site to be documented and destroyed to make way for the road.
The new Environment Minister, John Gormley, is apparently planning to review the decision, but reports this morning say he will be unable to reverse it.
Mr Roche says there was nothing underhand about the decision and he believes it was actually discussed during the recent coalition negotiations between Fianna Fáil and the Greens.
