Joint Oireachtas Committee on Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs

Sustaining Viable Rural Communities: Discussion (Resumed)

2:10 pm

Mr. Terry Allen:

I have little doubt but that it will be found. The diver has given us an interim report that explains he has gone down a number of times since to try to find the artefact. He has failed so far to find it. He has said that if necessary, he will get a remote operating vehicle that will go down and to film the seabed remotely. They are quite determined to get it back. I see no reason not to. There would have been no damage done to it as this is a robust, heavy piece of bronze that would not be damaged by falling.
