Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Monuments and Archaeological Heritage Bill: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Mr. Seán Carpenter:

That could be one of the advantages to the inventories that are also proposed under the Bill. This would have lists of archaeological and architectural sites available online to members of the public, as opposed to having the register of monuments, which would have different levels of legal protections assigned to them etc. The idea behind the inventory is that it is just a list one can consult. It would be available online. Whether a person wants to look at the list of archaeological structures or sites or architectural structures or sites, he or she would be able to go to that inventory and search to hopefully get the information that is required.
