235 acres of land was sold to developers for over 5 million euros. Developers are not currently allowed to develop housing there but we assume they want to get this ruling changed. 

The developers have put 'land poisoned' signage next to an area that is zoned as part of OPW's biodiversity drive. 

There are many ancient oaks trees and other important flora and fauna on this site that need to be protected from destruction.

This is an area of cultural, historical and environmental significance.
