Rezoned Meath land ends up in the twilight zone

"A public, internationally heralded policy of preserving and protecting one of the most important historical monuments in the country clashed with the interests of a local developer and the local developer won hands down." Trim Castle Hotel opened in July 2006.

These are the words of Fintan O'Toole. They typify exactly what Ireland was, and still is.

This comes from the Irish Times article "Rezoned Meath land ends up in the twilight zone". Depressing, but essential, reading.
