Whilst throwing out old papers today, I came across an edition of the Irish Independent, dated Wed 8th August, which my husband bought on a business trip. In it I found an article about a group campaigning to protect a ritual burial site in the Tara- Skryne valley from the route of the proposed M3 motorway.
They were seeking an injunction on the basis that works to dismantle the site were illegal and contrary to EU law. Apparently EU law maintains that the National Monuments Act, which allows the environment minister of the day to decide if a national monument should be preserved or destroyed is contrary to EU law. I do not know if this is of nay help so late in your campaign.
The reporter for the article was Paul Melia.
Good luck in any last ditch attempts to reroute the road from the Rothewas Ribbon -such an uniique find in Europe must surely be protected, and surely the EU would be interested.
