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

Dr. Mark Clinton:

It could be the advisory councils, which we once had and let slip. Northern Ireland has one. Otherwise we could go the parallel route with a companion ombudsman to go with An Coimisinéir Teanga - An Coimisinéir Dúchas - so we would handle and protect the two pillars of Irish culture - the language and its traditions contained therein and the physical manifestations of the monuments in the field.
