Looking back through my email correspondence, I see that it has been a while since
there has been any communication on the status of the much anticipated Drumclay
Crannog Report by Prof. Gabriel Cooney. I'm not going to let this one go, so this
morning I emailed Mark H Durkan, Minister for the Environment:

September 15 2014
Dear Minister Durkan,
I last wrote to you on March 22nd 2014 regarding the status of
the report: Review of the context of the excavation of a
crannog in Drumclay townland, Co. Fermanagh on the route of
the Cherrymount Link Road. On April 11th 2014 I received your
reply via Mr Brian McKervey, Acting Director of Built
Heritage, NIEA. At that time, I was informed that you were
considering the contents of that report and were in the
process of sharing it with your Executive colleagues. I would
like to enquire what progress you have made in this regard in
the 157 days since your response, and when you propose to
publish the report.
Yours,
Robert M Chapple

In short order, I received a response from his Constituency Office:

Dear Mr Chapple

Your e mail has been received here at Mr Durkans constituency

office, I have forwarded it to the Ministers private office of
the DOE for their attention and response.

Kind Regards
Shauna Cusack
(Office Manager)

A little while later I received confirmation that my email had made it as far as
Stormont (albeit under the rather ominous subject line of: TOF 414 14
Acknowledgement):

Mr Chapple
Thank you for your email regarding the Crannog at Drumclay, Co
Fermanagh.
A response will be issued in due course.
Kind regards
Catherine Heath
DOE Private Office

I'll update the blog and keep everyone informed when I hear more!
