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

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.
