My next question is for the OPW. It is possible to ask the Minister to take a monument into guardianship if it is on one's private land. Does that mean it goes to the OPW? What is the extent of the OPW's responsibility? Is it purely about maintenance and not about publicising or managing access or the public-interest aspect?
