The site referred to includes a bank which may be a part of the Pale Ditch but as the proposed development scheme will not interfere with it, there should be no delay to the building works. Accordingly, the investigation of the bank is not necessary at present.
The maintenance of the bank, if it should prove to be a national monument, would be the responsibility of the Dublin County Council who own it.
