I am informed that the Chairman is referring to the national inventory figure, which depends on the counties being covered. Dublin City Council and Monaghan County Council carried out major reviews. In the case of the former, as a result of the survey, 1,456 recommendations were issued recently. This is the national inventory of architectural heritage. Fieldwork for the 11th phase of the Dublin survey has just been completed. The second phase of the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown survey has been published, with 176 ministerial recommendations issued. A list of monuments is submitted to the relevant local authority which has responsibility for deciding whether the monuments should be designated as protected structures.
