The Turoe Stone is one of Ireland’s finest National Monuments. It could stand on a par with the Book of Kells, The Ardagh Chalice and the Cross of Cong. For 2000 years our ancestors have been custodians of this treasure, its stories and traditions. Now, in the name of protecting it, The Minister has approved its removal from its rural environment to a museum in Galway City. Yes, the Stone needs protection, but this can be done where it is. Our proposal is to preserve and protect the Turoe Stone at Turoe and develop an acclaimed tourist attraction site in Rural West of Ireland. This is the chosen option in Scotland, Denmark and many other countries for similar stones that were exposed to the environment. We in the locality think that this will detract from the authenticity of The Stone. We would prefer to see proposals for protection in situ and development of an acclaimed Celtic Attraction site in Rural West of Ireland. This would retain the integrity of The Stone and support Rural Development.
Please sign the petition which we will use to progress these objectives.

I want to speak so I'll sign your petition. But I think there is already too much commercial tourism of the rural West. Is a museum in the city not better than making a carnival out of it? Its already been moved from its original location, maybe several times........

Trying to move the Turoe Stone from Turoe has to be the work of corrupt?

This is rubbish. As it is, the stone is simply an extra device to market a privatly run pet farm. The historical context of the stone has already been thoroughly lost since the stone was moved from where it was found, and the current display of the stone is extremely poor. While the petition to keep the stone in its current situation is laudable, it is not practical as the stone itself could never sustain an interpretative centre. The stone does, however, need to be placed somewhere where elements cannot damage it, and a local museum presents the best option.

This is an absolute disgrace. People should take a walk through UCC and see all the standing stones the English stole from the Irish countryside to enrich their college when Ireland was under occupation. Why is the Dublin Government at the same criminality of destroying our heritage. It must be stopped.
