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

Mr. Ian Doyle:

It could be. The setting of a monument is touched on. We have to remember these are just the heads of the Bill. We will see more detail as it evolves. I suspect there is more thinking to be done on this. At its time, Valletta was a very important convention for Ireland to sign up to. I would argue we are probably working in accordance with the vast majority of the Valletta convention, so we are in good stead in terms of archaeological practice in terms of Valletta as is.
