Mr. Seán Carpenter:

Under head 9(4) there will be a list of criteria to which the Minister will have to have regard to when deciding if something is entered into the register or not. There are some things specified here. Again, they may be broadened and added to. I refer to "level of interest, physical integrity, amenity value, likelihood of achieving preservation in-situ and extent to which the thing is protected under other legislation", etc. There will be a number of things that will have to be taken into consideration. It will not just be an automatic entry into the register after ticking the box of relevant thing of relevant interest. There will be criteria that must be met before that can actually occur. We have listed some items in head 9 and I imagine the list will be expanded when it comes to the drafting of the Bill. Any recommendations to that effect would be very welcome.
