Yes it should be far better protected or moved and to a saver placed to prevent it from getting damaged and a new cut stone cross erected in its place, same as was done in Cong Co Mayo, those are very important items in the history of Ireland and are related to good, bad and hard times and thousands of stories
We had one of these crosses in Liverpool originally at the end of the medieval town, at the corner of Tithebarn Street and Vauxhall Road. Over time the road got busier and busier and when the road was improved the cross appears to have been removed. Strange thing about the cross is while the other long gone ancient crosses were not dedicated to saints this one was ... it was called St Patrick's Cross. Having a cross called that resulted in legends about St Patrick but Liverpool didn't exist back then it was founded by King John. Maybe the Hiberno-Normans who traded with Liverpool had something to do with it?

It was moved years ago. Moved down the town out of the way of traffic.
It was hit by a bus before it had been moved

"Is it a traffic hazard?" The traffic were the hazard.

No. It is in a safer place not far away with a canopy over it to protect from acid erosion.
thay did move it i was on the phone to my uncle peter he lives in kells , he said it was damaged by a school bus in 1996 then moved
@@madladpjl I answered your question. They didn't move it to the church after. Hence I wrote: No.

A MIGHTY TOWN 😊
The beginning of the end for our Irish culture. Modernism killing our past.
The horror
