Protect Drogheda's Thatched Cottages
Old Drogheda Society
A campaign to protest at the continuing disgraceful neglect
of our two remaining thatched cottages in Drogheda was launched with a
gathering at the cottage at Harty's Corner in Drogheda at 4 p.m. on Friday 11th
March.
The roof is virtually gone at this stage and this is a blatant flouting
of the law that requires the owner to preserve it and in the absence of such
action, permits the local authority to take legal action to have the law
enforced.
The Old Drogheda Society calls on every concerned citizen to support
this campaign and to demand immediate action from the owner and from the
responsible authority, the Louth County Council. The protest will continue on a
weekly basis, alternating between Harty's Corner and the other threatened
structure, The Thatch, on the Donore Road until appropriate action is taken to
preserve a vital part of our local heritage
If you can, turn up at the Thatch, Donore Road, this Friday to express your concern.
