I move amendment No. 74:

In page 37, between lines 29 and 30, to insert the following: “(4) (a) Members of the public may petition the Minister to include a relevant thing as a monument in the Register where they consider it to have archaeological, architectural, artistic, cultural, including intangible culture, historic, linguistic, traditional interest or where it holds amenity or community value.

(b) Where a public petition receives signatures from at least 1,000 persons entitled to vote at an election for members of a local authority, the Minister shall be obliged to consider the merits of the petition, in consultation with Ard-Mhusaem na hÉireann, An Comhairle Oidhreachta, and An Taisce, and provide a response in writing to the petitioners within six weeks.”.
