March 2022: Ardbrin Trumpet sounded on Knock Iveagh after 2,000 years!
October 2022: Friends meet Deirdre Hargey, Sinn Fein Minister for Communities, asking her to take the monument into State Care and reinstate access. Director of DFC, Ian Greenway appears unsympathetic. Stormont collapses, and without a Minister in place, we hear nothing. https://twitter.com/saveknockiveagh/status/1584615437366882304?t=T_eAAWSaqry5sBWeYI7Ruw&s=04&fbclid=IwAR1cm_5rTW0oOenqzlxyU9stNYvcfd56248xyaA8Ag7c2Xb5WCgQEv28aac
