 Review of Urban Archaeology Research
It was not until the Wood Quay controversy of the late 1970s and early 1980s that archaeologists, the media and, more significantly, the public became involved in the debate regarding urban heritage resources.
The quality of preservation and the extent of the remains at Wood Quay established the site as one of the most important in Europe, but the bitter and divisive battle over the development of the site had far-reaching consequences that are still evident to this day.
Wood Quay also raised an essential controversy for Irish urban archaeology - previous excavation had been concerned with more tangible and robust features like castles and churches in situations where development pressures were not an issue.

 James Connolly: Wood Quay Ward, Election Address (1903)
Having been again asked to contest the Wood Quay Ward in the interests of labour, I desire, in accepting this invitation, to lay before you a few of the principles upon which I conducted the campaign last election, and on which I shall fight this.
Our defeat of last year, brought about as it was by a campaign of slander and bribery, and a wholesale and systematic debauching of the more degraded portion of the electorate, did not in the slightest degree affect the truth of the principles for which we contested.
Remember that all this carnival of corruption and dishonesty was resorted to, simply in order to prevent labour from electing a representative who could neither be bought, terrified nor seduced, and you will understand how important your masters conceive to be their hold on the public bodies in this country.

 Dublin
Until 1800 the city housed an independent (though still exclusively Protestant) Irish Parliament, and as mentioned it was during this period that much of the great Georgian buildings of Dublin were built.
The new awareness was also reflected in the development of Temple Bar[?], the last surviving part of Dublin that contained its original mediæval street plan.
The destruction of the site on Wood Quay[?] and the building of a set of offices known as The Bunkers (because of how they looked) is generally seen as one of the most disastrous acts against Ireland's heritage since independence, with even Dublin Corporation admitted subsequently that it was ashamed of its action.

The Viking settlement was known as An Dubh Linn (or Black Pool, referring to a fl pool of water) (It was called Dyflin by the Vikings), which was located in the area now known as Wood Quay, and a Celtic settlement, Áth Cliath ("hurdle ford") further up river.
Until 1800 the city housed an independent (though still exclusively Protestant) Irish Parliament, and as mentioned it was during this period that much of the great Georgian buildings of Dublin were built.
In 2003, a major issue arose over the plans by the National Roads Authority to run the M50 orbital motorway (which had almost encircled the city) through the historic medieval Carrickmines Castle site, the location of which though suspected had been found during the building of the road.
