This watercourse drains to the Dodder River which ultimately discharges to Dublin Bay that is covered by several European site designations. There are several other designated European sites in the wider area although most do not have a direct connection to the proposed works. A Natura Impact Statement (NIS) and application under Section 177AE was lodged by the Local Authority on the basis of the proposed development’s likely significant effect on a European site. Section 177AE of the Planning and Development act 2000 (as amended) requires that where an appropriate assessment is required in respect of development by a local authority the authority shall prepare an NIS and the development shall not be carried out unless the Board has approved the development with or without modifications.

    Kippure Mountain All Chapters-P35-P63

    Montpelier Hill was excavated as recently as October 2016. Archaeologists discovered a large passage tomb which is similar in size to Newgrange, dating to c.5,000 years ago.80 Paddy Healy photographed a cairn on Kippure in 1935 (Fig. 3.1) and concluded that it was a pile of stones erected as a survey mark by the OS but Michael Fewer who completed extensive work in the general area believes it to be a prehistoric cairn.81 Fig. 3.1 Cairn on top of Kippure – photograph by Paddy Healy courtesy of Michael Fewer. Colby did not have a good reputation for conservation with Andrews giving an example of how reckless Colby could be: In private he admitted his dislike of ‘ornamental or unsubstantial knowledge’, and his indifference to the past had been illustrated in 1826 when he had demolished an ancient monument on Slieve Donard to make a trigonometrical station (only to suffer the ill- luck that traditionally befalls destroyers of Irish antiquities when the wrong cairn on Donard was observed by the trigonometrical party in Scotland).82 80 Irish Times, 19 Oct. 2016. 81 Healy, Glenasmole roads, p. 55; Fewer, Wicklow Military Road, p. 135. 82 Andrews, A paper landscape, p. 163. 35 The Wicklow Ordnance Survey letters do not give any clarity as to the existence of a cairn, as when Eugene O’Curry visited the Kippure area in December 1838 the mountain was covered in a mist and he decided not to climb to the top.83 Although the truth may never be known, with the presence of cairns on many of the surrounding mountains, it would seem unlikely that prehistoric people bypassed Kippure.
