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 Virginia Teehan:

I will defer in the main to my colleague, Mr. Doyle. We welcome the rationalisation of all the disparate legislation into one Bill. We have a concern about the oversight of the legislation and the advisory role, particularly the absence of clarity about that advisory role. The Heritage Council previously had a role. It is not clear what our role will be. For brevity, I will defer to Mr. Doyle to discuss the penalties.
