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

We were promised after that that Irish archaeological legislation would be revised and updated to take proper account of the protection of archaeological landscapes and complexes.
