Save Dunsink Observatory Petition (670 words) |
 | Dunsink's long tradition of interaction with the public (Open Nights, group visits, provision of lighting-up times for legal purposes etc) makes it the natural reference point for the general public on astronomical issues, as is attested by the numerous daily enquiries. |
| Dunsink has been synonymous with Irish astronomy for the last 200 years, and we believe that aborting its research now sends the wrong message to the Irish public and the international community about the current state of Irish astronomy. |
| Dunsink would be the natural focus for this celebration and terminating its current successful functioning at this juncture would be particularly unfortunate. |
