I am strongly in favour of treating this treasure as a local asset.
Ireland's heritage will only retain its distinctive character if it is
not centralized in the interests of larger concerns. |

Should be left where it is - a disgrace to move it. It's survived this

The stone is significant where it stands. It should remain that way for
future generations to appreciate and study in its native environment. |

One of the delights of travel in Ireland is seeing its dolmens, high
crosses, and other monuments in situ. Protection is a worthy goal, but
protection on site is a better one! |

Jacqueline Wilson :
As an archaeologist who grew up in Ireland the Turoe Stone is one of three
known decorated stones in the La Tene style in Ireland. The argument for
its removal is that environmental conditions are such that it cannot be
preserved in its present location. This is a spurious argument as a small
intepretation centre (such as at Corlea for the Iron Age road) is all that
is needed to keep this national treasure within the landscape in which it
was created. Given the recent destruction by the NRA at the nearby site of
Kiltullagh for the new road system and given the travesty which is taking
place at Tara it is beholdant upon those in authority to distinguish
themselves by recognizing the local condemnation of such a proposal. |

Can't you see, Minister, that where it is, like any historical entity,
has to be included in its preservation. Don't demote it to a
collectors item. |

Patrick J Mahon :
On a visit to the site last year, my wife and I were disappointed with the
lack of access to the stone. Upon discussion, we believe that a visitor
center can be constructed on-site to both protect the stone from continued
degradation while allowing people to view the stone unobstructed while
still in its original environment. |

than the statue of Padraig which used to be in Eyre Square... They should

option acceptable to us. |
