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 Kirwan:
We envisage that we will continue to work with our existing service standards. Generally, our service standard is that we aim to return licence applications - these are excavation licences for the most part, as well as applications for works to national monuments under current law - in no more than six weeks. We certainly do not envisage that people will be left waiting for extremely lengthy periods to get licences under the new legislation.
