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
Ms Rosemary Collier:
The Bill is very complex. It is even for us to convey to the specifics of how it relates to our work. It is an extremely complex Bill. I do not envy the committee the task of scrutinising it at this stage. However, we welcome the interest in heritage. We welcome this process at a legislative level to clarify all of the things that we discussed today, such as registers of monuments, the roles, etc. It is heartening that elected representatives are engaged in that level of detail, because it is complex. Like Ms Teehan, I wish the committee luck in its process over the next few months in finalising this and its report.
