Carrickmines Legal action threatened
It is proposed to remove the Castle site to facilitate the completion of the M50 motorway.
Minister Martin Cullen is currently considering a request from Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council for consent to resume work on the site.
This comes despite the fact that the High Court is due to consider whether or not it is a National Monument.
Mr Cullen's decision - expected early next week - would make the High Court case redundant if he allows the work to go ahead.
