I move amendment No. 79:

In page 38, between lines 7 and 8, to insert the following: “(a) (i) The site of a historic battlefield shall be a prescribed monument within a defined and designated area.
(ii) Of particular relevance are the select number of battlefields of historic value in another state. The Minister, in such cases, should send a description of any proposed works and any available information on the possible effects on the environment of the battlefield.

(iii) The views of the State in question, especially in relation to Northern Ireland, should be afforded due attention and respect with emphasis on cultural parity of esteem.”.
